A true monocoque structure differs from a semi-monocoque one in that it has

  • A.A separate internal load-bearing framework
  • B.No stiffeners; the skin carries all
  • C.No skin at all
  • D.No frames or formers

Answer: B

In a pure monocoque the shell alone carries every load, which demands a thick skin to resist buckling and is heavy for anything large. Adding stringers lets a much thinner skin be used because the buckling length is shortened, and that is what semi-monocoque means.
