Why "Chassis-borne"? This phrase is aptly employed to signify a structure similar to that in the motor car, or to the keel of a ship; a strong primary arrangement of braced girders (the Monospar system), surrounded by a light superstructure. The superstructure gives high aerodynamic efficiency and an outstanding propensity for cheap repairs by not necessarily fully skilled or licenced engineers, and provides for easy modification to suit a multitude of purposes; it also protects the primary structure from many of the expensive and serious accidents which frequently occur on the best regulated of aerodromes.
