Wow! The great Britten!
That was more like the current Desmosedici though -- carbon fiber mini frames bolted on the cylinders, swingarm on the engine...

That's how it well be marketed eventually - you saw it here first folks
Kropotkin: GPOne states that the engine is a partially-stressed member of the chassis. This contradicts what you're saying, so perhaps you could clarify the confusion.
Yeah, that's what I've read from GPOne.
" It won't exactly be a Deltabox design (a twin spar frame that is closed on both ends), but rather a twin beam aluminum frame that does not connect to itself in the rear (have a rear cross-member). This is a fairly big departure from recent Ducati designs, but it would continue to use the engine as a semi-stressed chassis member."

I was under the impression that normal bikes, like say a CBR600 would use the engine as a partially stressed member
