    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnome_Monosoupape

    The Monosoupape (French for single-valve), was a rotary engine design first introduced in 1913 by Gnome Engine Company (renamed Gnome et Rhône in 1915). It used a clever arrangement of internal transfer ports and a single pushrod-operated exhaust valve to replace the many moving parts found on more conventional rotary engines, and made the Monosoupape engines some of the most reliable of the era.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-boom_aircraft

    A twin-boom aircraft has two longitudinal auxiliary booms. These may contain ancillary items such as fuel tanks and/or provide a supporting structure for other items. Typically, twin tailbooms support the tail surfaces , although on some types such as the Rutan Model 72 Grizzly the booms run forward of the wing.

    The first Lockheed DSI was flown on 11 December 1996 as part of a Technology Demonstration project. It was installed on an F-16 Block 30 fighter, replacing the aircraft's original intake diverter. The modified F-16 demonstrated a maximum speed of Mach 2.0 (Mach 2.0 is the F-16's clean certified maximum speed) and handling characteristics ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstart

    If the mass flow across the intake's capture plane does not match the downstream mass flow at the engine, the intake will unstart. This can cause violent, temporary loss of control until the intake is restarted. [3] Few aircraft, although many ramjet-powered missiles, have flown with intakes which have supersonic compression taking place inside ...

  9. Monoplane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
