The Bonomi BS.8 Biancone (English: Short-toed Snake Eagle) was a single-seat training glider designed and built in Italy in the 1930s.
The centre section was supported by the fuselage pedestal and braced on each side by steel asymmetric V-form struts.
These were fixed to the two spars close to the ends of the centre panels and to the fuselage boom directly below the leading edge.
[1] Like the BS.7, the BS.8 had a fuselage based on a slender, triangular-cross-section, plywood-covered beam, sloping upwards aft from below the leading edge to place the strut braced triangular tailplane at the same height as the wing, on top of a trapezoidal fin.
The fin carried a deep, unbalanced rudder, rectangular except at the bottom where it was cropped to match the keel line of the boom.
