In the 1920’s the creation of the monoplane was being designed. “At the University of Gottingen, scientist Ludwig Prandl's and his team developed the science of aerodynamics and created the "thick wing," which gave planes the ability to climb at much steeper angles without losing lift and stalling” (“Military Aviation: Key Innovations”)
