Aviation Simplifed
Why Monopldres Lead IN CtDu
Field and Bipldres in War.

The monoplane at the present time
is seen IN the rank and file of military
planes only in the category Of troop,
cargo and supply transports and in
effect is a noncombatant. All the
battle planes" are biplanes.
The monoplane dominates the COM
mcrcial field from the 220-horSepower
class up to and through the giant three
enCined passenger carrying type. which
have an aggregate horsepower Of more
than $50. The monoplane also Is be-
coming more numerous in the low
powered field
Several factors stand between the
employment Of a monoplane for mill
tary work First. military planes, espe-
cialiy the sinCle-Seater pursuit type,
must have high maneuverability rat
ing. They must be able to loop, spin,
dive from great heights and suddenly
and abruptly terminate the dive and
zoom to higher levels. all Of which
brings enormous presSureS, stresses and
strains on the wings Hence they must
be rigidly braced The top wings give
a large percentage of the lift. and while
the bottom wings also contribute lifting
power. they also serve as an excellent
medium for bracing.
The commercial monoplane, as 1t is
built today. does not and should not
engage in violent maneuvers or. to use
another term. "acrobatics and stunts.
It's function is to take Off IN q normal
climb with the cabin filled with rassen-
gers or cargo. fly along straight
course TO the next stop and descend in

however can be built and has been
built to stand enormous strains, as in
the British and italian racers which
travel over 300 miles per hour But
the monoplane for lightninglike move
ments about the sky Is held 10 be less
maneuverable than the biplane
Another factor enters into the pref
erence of the biplane for the larger
types of military and naval planes. BY
being biplanes they are more compact.
Particularly is this compactness de-
sired in the Navy. where all planes
must be stored aboard battleshipS.
cruisers and carriers whether in use or
not With the Army monoplane
bomber or observation plane calls for
greater wing spread than the hiplancs
now have, This necessitates larger
hangers, greater parking space on fly
ing fields. and when flying In battle
formation they ARE spread out all over
the sky as one officer put H..
There Is no doubt about the efficiency
of monoplane from the standpoint of
lifting power and speed In foregoing
this type of plane the military services
knowingly make a sacrifice of few adj
ditional pounds in weight that could
be carried and also lose several miles
per hour in speed. but such a loss is
recovered In efficiency and case of OPP
