The de Havilland DH.71 Tiger Moth was a British single-seat monoplane, designed to research high-speed flight and test replacement engines for the Cirrus engine, only two were built.〔 ==Design and development== The design was a low-wing monoplane based on the earlier Moth biplanes with a stressed plywood covering and the cockpit designed around its test pilot, Hubert Broad, to make it as streamlined as possible: this resulted in the fuselage sides being sloped outwards to accommodate his shoulders.〔 The Tiger Moth had a fixed conventional landing gear with a tail skid.〔 The first aircraft built (registration ''G-EBQU'') first flew from Stag Lane Aerodrome on 24 June 1927 and was fitted with a ADC Cirrus II engine to check its handling characteristics. This was then replaced with Major Halford's prototype engine, by then named the Gipsy.〔 The second example, ''G-EBRV'', was fitted with a Cirrus engine and first flew on 28 July 1927.〔
