Monocoque
Monocoque is a structural approach that supports loads through an object's external skin, similar to a pingpong ball or egg shell. The term is also used to indicate a form of vehicle construction in which the skin provides the main structural support, although this is rare and is usually confused with either semi-monocoque or a unibody. The word monocoque comes from the Greek for single and French for shell. The technique may also be called structural skin or stressed skin. Alternatives to the monocoque structure are the truss structure, geodetic structure, unibody, inflatable, and semi-monocoque. The semi-monocoque is a hybrid of a mutually reinforcing tensile shell and compressive structure. A common aircraft has longerons and stringers. Most car bodies are not true monocoques; instead modern cars use unitary construction which is also known as unit body, unibody, or Body Frame Integral construction. This uses a system of box sections, bulkheads and tubes to provide most of the strength of the vehicle, to which the stressed skin adds relatively little strength or stiffness.
