High-wing monoplane

HIGH-WING MONOPLANE - An aircraft which has its single wing mounted high on the fuselage.

HULL - The water-tight fuselage or body of a flying-boat.

The D.6 monoplane of 1910 was a pusher type high-wing monoplane which featured turned-down wingtips with pronounced wash-out.

In general, less dihedral is needed for a high-wing monoplane than a low-wing monoplane because of the pendulum effect of the underslung fuselage.
