With its sleek and streamlined body, the Velie Monocoupe 70 was a favorite among private pilots and aviation enthusiasts. The Monocoupe 70 was a single-seat, open-cockpit biplane, featuring a wooden fuselage and fabric-covered wings. Its distinctive rounded canopy offered excellent visibility for the pilot, while the fixed, conventional landing gear ensured a smooth takeoff and landing experience.
