20% greater than that of the monoplane in order FIG. 100. — Comparison of Stress Diagrams for Monoplane (A) and Biplane (B). to allow for the same landing speed, the maximum lift coefficient for the biplane being reduced by interference at large angles. The gap is equal to 1*2 x chord. A comparison… … Biplane R&I02 for high-speed work where the wings are necessarily thin and the maximum thickness of the spar must be small. Notice that as the compression due to angularity of the lift wires of a mono- plane becomes pronounced as the span is increased, so also the compressions in the spars, even of…
