		Semimonocoque means that the skin has a minimum of internal framework.
		The aft skirt is 7 feet in height and is semimonocoque construction fabricated from aluminum alloy.
		Of semimonocoque construction, the forward skirt is assembled from four curved sections with a height of 11-1/2 feet and has four internal support rings.

	Aeronautics - Parts of an Airplane (THE FUSELAGE STRUCTURE)
		The semimonocoque is the most often used construction for modern, high-performance aircraft.
		The semimonocoque structure is easier to streamline than the truss structure.
		Since the skin of the semimonocoque structure must carry much of the fuselage's strength, it will be thicker in some places than at other places.

	Air Fronts: Aircraft Technical and Test Resources: TM 1-410 - Aircraft Structures - II. Fuselages
		This design may be divided into three classes-monocoque, semimonocoque, and reinforced shell - and different portions of the same fuselage may belong to any one of these classes.
		The monocoque has as its only reinforcement vertical rings, station webs and bulkheads; the semimonocoque in addition to these has the skin reinforced by longitudinal members, that is, stringers, and longerons, but has no diagonal web members; and the reinforced shell has the skin reinforced by a complete framework of structural members.
		Welded tubular steel framework construction is extensively used, although they are sometimes of a semimonocoque construction similar to that of the fuselage.

	[No title]
		The semimonocoque fuselage is constructed primarily of the alloys of aluminum and magnesium, although steel and titanium are found in areas of high temperatures.
		This means that a semimonocoque fuselage, because of its stressed skin construction, may withstand considerable damage and still be strong enough to hold together.
		The tail boom is normally of semimonocoque construction, made up of formed aluminum bulkheads, extruded longerons, and skin panels or of welded tubular steel.

		All of this is wrapped in an aluminum skin.
		The skin is structural and the construction technique is called semimonocoque construction.
		It's a mouthful of a word but simply put it means the skin is a necessary part of the structure and the skeleton alone won't support the loads.

	U.S. Army Aircraft P-51D-25NA 44-73287-- Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms: A National Register of Historic ...
		The wingspan of 44-73287 is 37.03 feet and has a wing area of 236 square feet.
		The plane's two-section, semimonocoque fuselage is constructed entirely of aluminum alloy and is 32 feet and 2 5/8 inches in length.
		At the end of World War I, air power pioneers in the U.S. and Europe placed a great deal of emphasis on the potential of strategic bombardment based on Italian air war theorist Giulio Douhet's principle of taking long-range bombers and hitting the enemy's war-making potential behind its own lines.

	The Ultimate Bell XP-83 Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		The two General Electric J33 -GE-5 turbojet engines were located in each wing root, which left the large and bulky fuselage free for fuel tanks and weaponry.
		The fuselage was an all-metal semimonocoque, capable of carrying 1,150 US gallons (4,350 L); in addition, 2 250 US gal (950 L) drop tanks could be carried.
		The cabin was pressurized, and the canopy a small and low bubble type.

	Boeing Frontiers Online
		While competitor Jack Northrop was developing a similar model in the Alpha, what made the Monomail unique was the combination of the latest ideas of aeronautical design.
		Among them: all-metal smooth-skin construction, a semimonocoque fuselage, low mounted cantilevered wings, an antidrag ring cowl and, most notably, the first recorded use of retractable landing gear.
		Even with all of these new refinements, there were still conservative ideas and technologies that held back the Monomail.

		Conventional spacecraft structures were employed, following the proven materials and concepts demonstrated in the Mercury and Gemini designs.
		Primary structure consisted of a semimonocoque shell with reinforcements around cut-outs and fittings to distribute localized loads.

	Boeing Model 247 - USA
		However, while huge lumbering biplanes were still the vogue, the Boeing company designed the Model 247 as a new ten-passenger aircraft of revolutionary concept.
		The all-metal airframe was well streamlined, with low monoplane wings, a smooth oval semimonocoque fuselage, neatly cowled twin engines, and an enclosed cockpit for the pilots.

		Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, Vol.
		After testing of a full-scale model semimonocoque airframe aluminum bridge at Lehigh University in 1960, New York State built two similar four-span aluminum structures on Long Island, which were opened to traffic in 1965.
		During an inspection in 1996, galvanic corrosion of the aluminum superstructure at contact surfaces with the steel bearings in presence of moisture, limited distortion or buckling of members at some of these locations, and damage to the bridge underside when struck by a vehicle taller than available clearance were noticed.
