Monnett Moni

The Monnett Moni is a sport aircraft developed in the United States in the early 1980s and marketed for homebuilding.

Designed by John Monnett, who coined the term "air recreation vehicle" to describe it,[1] it is a single-seat motorglider with a low, cantilever wing and a V-tail.

Like many sailplanes, the main undercarriage is a single monowheel, which in this case was mounted in a streamlined fairing beneath the fuselage and is not retractable, with a steerable tailwheel behind it.

[2] Power is provided by a small two-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled engine.

[5] The all-electric-powered Electric Aircraft Corporation ElectraFlyer-C is a modified Monnett Moni in taildragger configuration.
