Title:  Monospar ST.25

The Monospar ST.25 was a 1930’s British twin-engined monoplane built by General Aircraft Ltd using the “monospar” wing construction patented by H J Steiger, the Swiss inventor of the concept. (How the structure works is explained in the manual.) The ST.25 was the final and largest of the Monospar series of aircraft, and between 1935 and 1939 around 60 examples were built.

This title includes the manufacturer’s Instruction manuals for the Monospar ST.25 aircraft, and the Pobjoy Niagara air-cooled radial aero engine which powers the ST.25, along with a NACA aircraft circular describing an earlier Monospar model. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages.
