Monocoupe Aircraft was a manufacturer of light airplanes originally produced in the late 1920s and 30s.[2] They introduced relatively inexpensive, compact, and sporty aircraft in an era of large, maintenance intensive, open-cockpit biplanes, and the Monocoupe series was one of the first economical, closed-cabin, two-seat, light aircraft in the United States. As a result, the Monocoupe soon became a successful brand.[2]
