  2. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    A braced multiplane may have one or more "bays", which are the compartments created by adding interplane struts; the number of bays refers to one side of the aircraft's wing panels only. For example, the de Havilland Tiger Moth is a single-bay biplane where the Bristol F.2 Fighter is a two-bay biplane.

  3. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    The cantilever is commonly used in the wings of fixed-wing aircraft. Early aircraft had light structures which were braced with wires and struts. However, these introduced aerodynamic drag which limited performance. While it is heavier, the cantilever avoids this issue and allows the plane to fly faster.

  4. Bracing (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracing_(aeronautics)

    In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.

  5. Monoplane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoplane

    The inherent efficiency of the monoplane is best achieved in the cantilever wing, which carries all structural forces internally. However, to fly at practical speeds the wing must be made thin, which requires a heavy structure to make it strong and stiff enough. External bracing can be used to improve structural efficiency, reducing weight and ...

  6. Kawanishi K-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawanishi_K-2

    As originally designed, the K-2 had an internally braced cantilever wing but Goto suggested the addition of bracing wires. Later these wires were replaced by short, parallel pairs of struts from the upper fuselage longerons to the wing spars. The form of bracing used for the first flight, made in the summer of 1921, is not known but most ...

  7. Farman F.200 (1923) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farman_F.200_(1923)

    The unsuccessful French Farman F.200 of 1923 shared its type name with the 1929 Farman F.200, the progenitor of a series of parasol wing tourers. It was a two-seat touring aircraft, with a low, thick, cantilever wing.

  8. Letov Š-13 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letov_Š-13

    The Š-7 had a fixed, single-axle conventional undercarriage, with mainwheels on cross-braced V-struts, assisted by a tailskid. [1] The Letov Š-13 first flew in 1924 in cantilever configuration but during the early flight trials concern about wing strength led to its conversion into a single bay biplane by the addition of a pair of interplane ...

  9. Schleicher Condor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleicher_Condor

    The Schleicher Condor, also referred to as the Dittmar Condor, is a series of German high-wing, single and two-seat, gull winged, gliders that were designed by Heini Dittmar in the 1930s, produced in small quantities before the Second World War, produced again between 1952 and 1955 by Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co and also by Ferdinand Schmetz.
