 Before the G-22 all of Gribovsky's powered aircraft had monocoque fuselages and almost all had two spar wings.Though a wooden aircraft like them, the low wing G-22's structure was different, with a flat sided, truss framed fuselage and single spar wings.In plan its wing had a short parallel chord centre section and strongly straight tapered outer panels with the greatest taper on the trailing edges and with elliptical tips.
