The Monocoupe 110 wing is 32 feet long with a 5 foot chord and is a solid piece. There are 26 ribs. 18 ribs are “A” ribs, which are the largest. There are two each of size “B”, “C”, “D” and “E”. The B through E ribs are all different sizes, each sequentially smaller creating the unique shape of the wing tips. Although the 18 A ribs are the same size, there are many different flavors depending on location on the wing: root, compression, plain, aileron area, etc. In addition, there are 30 nose ribs and 8 tail ribs which are located between the 32 primary ribs.
