ABSTRACT:
A lightweight economical and portable structure for small aircraft includes fixed upright tail and wing tip posts and a lightweight generally horizontal boom extending forwardly from the tail post bisecting a line between the two wing tip posts. Cross arms parallel to the boom are secured to the wing tip posts. A similar cross arm extending at right angles to the boom is attached to the tail post. From the ends of the cross arms and points on the boom, the structure is rigged with rope and strong lightweight fabric is cut, sewn and laced on the rope rigging and is supported thereby in overhead relationship to an aircraft beneath it on the ground. Additional wing booms may be suspended beneath the wing covering fabric sections for added stability.
