"Mono" is commonly used in words like "monochrome" (one color) or "monopoly" (single control), while "uni" is used in words like "unicorn" (one horn) or "unicycle" (one wheel).

The two wings provide extra lift and maneuverability, making it suitable for various purposes such as aerobatics, military use, and agricultural work.
