SINGLE Tier of Wings.

MonoplaneS have but the one tier OF
wings where biplanes have two tiers,
one over the other. The model of the
monoplane may be said to be the soar

monoplane is the most satisfactory In
design it is the simplest style of fiier.
AS yet they are behind the biplane
in actual achievements. Monoplanes
have thus far proved a disappoint-
ment Yet it has been a brilliant dis

ed some of the most brilliant feats of
aviation up to the present time But
the monoplare has displayed a freak
ishness compared to which the always
rather uneven work of the steadier BIZ
plane seems sureness itself.
The single plane fiiers have upset in

wings while in the air, thing that
