Biplane

A biplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with two main wings stacked one above the other.

See Mitsubishi Ka-8 and Biplane

Bracing (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load.

See Mitsubishi Ka-8 and Bracing (aeronautics)

Bristol Jupiter

The Bristol Jupiter is a British nine-cylinder single-row piston radial engine that was built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company.

See Mitsubishi Ka-8 and Bristol Jupiter

Conventional landing gear

Conventional landing gear, or tailwheel-type landing gear, is an aircraft undercarriage consisting of two main wheels forward of the center of gravity and a small wheel or skid to support the tail.

Stagger (aeronautics)

In aviation, stagger is the relative horizontal fore-aft positioning of stacked wings in a biplane, triplane, or multiplane.
