Re: Stressed vs. Non-stressed Engine/Gearbox
not quite.
the monocoque will start life as more than one piece, yes
but it isn't like a structural frame attached to an underbody.
the secondary elements are designed to make the part-shell rigid.
without the shell there, these elements might not actually do anything.
like i said, it is a single thing that is designed at once.
it isn't simply putting a shell/underbody onto a tubular frame, although the end results usually looks like it is.
