Udet U 2
The Udet U 2 was a small, low-power sport aircraft developed in Gerrmany in the early 1920s as an improved version of the Udet U 1.Taylor 1993, p.873''The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft'' 1984, p.3035Bichel 2013, p.31 Unlike its single-seat predecessor, the U 2 was a two-seater. But like its predecessor, it was very underpowered. Out of seven or eight aircraft built, there is no record that a single one sold. Design The U 2 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional design.Bichel 2013, p.37 It was powered by a single, piston engine mounted in the nose, driving a two-blade tractor propeller. It had a conventional tail and conventional, tailskid undercarriage. The pilot and a single passenger sat in tandem in an open cockpit. The fuselage was of all-wood construction.Bichel 2013, p.38 The wings were wooden as well, covered in fabric. The tail unit was built from steel tube, and also fabric-covered. Development The first U 2 was completed in Deccember 1922, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A WikiProject, or Wikiproject, is an affinity group for contributors with shared goals within the Wikimedia movement. WikiProjects are prevalent within the largest wiki, Wikipedia, and exist to varying degrees within Wikimedia project, sibling projects such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikidata, and Wikisource. They also exist in different languages, and translation of articles is a form of their collaboration. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CBS News noted the role of Wikipedia's WikiProject Medicine in maintaining the accuracy of articles related to the disease. Another WikiProject that has drawn attention is WikiProject Women Scientists, which was profiled by ''Smithsonian Magazine, Smithsonian'' for its efforts to improve coverage of women scientists which the profile noted had "helped increase the number of female scientists on Wikipedia from around 1,600 to over 5,000".

Low-wing Aircraft
A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplane (aeronautics), multiplanes, which have multiple wings. 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. Characteristics Support and weight The inherent efficiency of the monoplane is best achieved in the cantilever wing, which carries all structural forces internally. However, to fly at practical speeds the wing must be made thin, which requires a heavy structure to make it strong and stiff enough. External Bracing (aeronautics), bracing can be used to improve structural efficiency, reducing weight and cost. For a wing of a given size, ...
