Which wing configuration is shown in the attachment?
Refer to figure.
Wings support the weight of the aircraft in the air and so must have sufficient strength and stiffness to be able to do this. The strength and stiffness are determined by the thickness of the wing, with the thickness and type of construction used being dependent on the speed requirements of the aircraft.
Monoplane
One wing plane. Since the 1930s most aeroplanes have been monoplanes. The wing may be mounted at various positions relative to the fuselage:
- Low wing: mounted near or below the bottom of the fuselage.
- Mid wing: mounted approximately halfway up the fuselage.
- High wing: mounted on the upper fuselage. When contrasted to the shoulder wing, applies to a wing mounted on a projection (such as the cabin roof) above the top of the main fuselage.
In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
The wing configuration which is shown in figure, is a strut-braced high wing.
