Monoplane
A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplanes, which have multiple planes.
A monoplane has inherently the highest efficiency and lowest drag of any wing configuration and is the simplest to build. However, during the early years of flight, these advantages were offset by its greater weight and lower manoeuvrability, making it relatively rare until the 1930s. Since then, the monoplane has been the most common form for a fixed-wing aircraft.
Examples of use of monoplane
1. Louis Bleriot in a monoplane of his own construction.
2. "Next came Mr Howard, with his small clockwork–driven monoplane.
3. The monoplane travelled with great rapidity, and its motor made such a din that it was heard when it must have been six or seven miles from Dover.
4. When about a mile out at sea the monoplane was judged to be flying at a height of about 30' feet.
5. Fontaine, a friend of Bleriot‘s, had taken up position with a large French tricolour which he waved vigorously as the monoplane came over the harbour.
