Monocoupe 110 Special : ウィキペディア英語版 | Monocoupe 110 Special The Monocoupe 110 Special was a United States sporting and racing aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s.
==Development==
The Monocoupe 110 was developed from the Monocoupe 90 using the higher-powered 110 h.p. Warner Scarab radial engine housed in a cowling with bulges to accommodate the larger power unit.〔Green, 1965, p.270〕 The Monocoupe 110 Special variant of 1931 was built to meet the needs of racing pilots. The wingspan was shortened from the standard 32 ft to 23 ft, a 125 h.p. Warner Scarab was installed and fairings and wheel spats added. Maximum speed increased from 150 mph to 220 mph. Seven of the Specials were built by Monocoupe and three further aircraft were modified to a similar standard by homebuilders.〔Aerofiles〕 The last Model 110 Special to be completed in 1941 was ''N36Y'' "Little Butch", which re-entered the airshow circuit in 1946, powered by a 185 h.p. Warner Super Scarab engine. The aircraft flew displays until 1981 and was then donated to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.〔Virginia Air Museum〕
