Deperdussin Monocoque, with wooden shell construction. Monocoque (/ ˈ m ɒ n ə k ɒ k,-k oʊ k / MON-ə-ko(h)k), also called structural skin, is a structural system in which loads are supported by an object's external skin, in a manner similar to an egg shell. The word monocoque is a French term for "single shell". [1]
The Deperdussin Monocoque was a mid-wing monoplane with parallel-chord wings with the spars made of hickory and ash, and ribs made of pine.The fuselage was made in two halves, each made by glueing and pinned a layer of tulip wood to a framework of hickory supported by a former, and then applying two further layers of tulipwood, the thickness of the shell being around 4 mm (5 ⁄ 32 in).

The Van's RV series aircraft are all-aluminum, low-wing monoplanes of monocoque construction. In 2023, over 11,000 Van's aircraft were flying worldwide, one third of the USA's experimental aircraft fleet. [1] The Van's Aircraft factory is located at Aurora State Airport, Oregon. [2]
Semi-monocoque structure inside an aircraft's rear fuselage ARV Super2 with semi-monocoque fuselage. The term semi-monocoque or semimonocoque refers to a stressed shell structure that is similar to a true monocoque, but which derives at least some of its strength from conventional reinforcement. Semi-monocoque construction is used for, among ...
The fuselage had an oval section of wooden semi-monocoque construction, tapering to the rear. On the production SL the fuselage line over the wings merged into a forward-sliding canopy, which was longer than that of the prototype.
The LB744's monofuselage combines new and old carbon manufacturing processes to make one seriously stiff chassis.
The observer is located at the front of the cockpit. The YO-3A is an all-metal low-wing monoplane of semi-monocoque construction. The control surfaces of the YO-3A including the ailerons and rudder are fabric-covered.
The fuselage is of fibreglass monocoque construction, while its one-piece bubble canopy is made from polycarbonate. The aircraft has fixed monowheel landing gear with a wheel brake and upper wing surface air brakes. [1] [3] [5] [6]
