Bi-planes are beautiful, and while they’re reminiscent of an earlier time with a simpler approach to aircraft design, they’re still in production today. It’s just that they tend to be more complicated to make than monoplanes.
So what exactly is a bi-plane? Well, the simplest definition is that it’s an early style of aircraft design that uses two pairs of wings, hence the name. For it to be a true bi-plane, the wings also need to be situated on top of each other.
And so with that definition out of the way, let’s take a look at a few examples. Here are fifteen of the most beautiful bi-planes ever made.

Disappointed the Beech Staggerwing wasn't on the list, as it was a far more beautiful aircraft, popular and produced in quite a range of models, with radial engines up to 600 hp and a top speed of over 200 mph. Unlike the others on this list, the Staggerwing had retractable landing gear.

I could not agree more. It was the first aeroplane that came to mind when I read the clickblurb.

@jimwilson779 Год назад

We've had two Staggerwings in the family. They are awesome aircraft; none better. A 5 place pursuit fighter, a joy to fly and a constant mystery whether the landing gear is going to stay under it.

When the list is compiled by flipping open the "Huge-Ass Book of World (Eurocentric) Aircraft" on a check-out line tower at Books-A-Million, this is what you get.

@donwhitt9899 Год назад

They should have added the PT-17 Stearman. During WW2, bomber pilots learned to fly in Stearmans. We lived near a training air base during the war and it was the most beautiful sight you could ever see, a bunch of Stearmans flying in V formation low right over our house. With yellow wings and blue fuselage, what a sight and what an exciting noise it was.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When asked which was the most beautiful aircraft her had ever seen, a Spitfire pilot relied; The Supermarine Walrus. This was an amphibious biplane used by the British during WWII. When asked why he replied that he had been shot down over the channel, was freezing to death and in danger of drowning when he saw one coming in to rescue him.

@davidjordan9759 Год назад

I just had a look at the Walrus and, I must say, that it is a plane that only a mother, or a shot-down pilot, could love. Still, full marks for being fit for purpose.

@johnhudghton3535 7 месяцев назад

Believe it or not the Walrus was fully stressed for shipboard catapult launches and fully aerobatic. However, such manouvres were known to drench the occupants when the bilges emptied over them. 😂

@fredjones7705 Год назад

No shit dude. The Staggerwing is super cool. My Uncle was rich and had a ranch on the Texas New Mexico border. Had his own airstrip and owned a Staggerwing. I remember riding in it (copilot seat) when he took us to Austin for UT football games. (1960s). Beautifully engineered and he had an undocumented Argentinean mechanic with a rather pronounced german accent to keep it and his other planes in top shape. Every time we landed in Austin other pilots would drool over her "City of Bronco" but I guess some were drooling over my sister (she was hot). Probably the most beautiful Bi Plane ever built. Great performance. We got 175mph cruise with 600 miles range and a payload of 1100 pounds. You won't find another plane from 1932 that can even approach those figures.

I'm beginning to think that a lot of these "best of" lists are actually done by film school kids that really don't know their subject matter. Most of the truly beautiful biplanes seem to be left out, leaving us with some truly odd ducks from military forces. At least they gave us the Marquardt Charger. But to leave out the Staggerwing? Early and late Waco cabins? Sorrell Hyperbipe? Pitts special? Stolp Starduster? Schneider Cup racers? Latter day biplane racers? Really?

Plenty of worthy candidates got overlooked: the Buecker Jungmann, the Stampe SV4, the SPAD XIII, and the Pitts Special, to name just a few, but one of the most egregious omissions has to be the Stearman Kaydet

Since the biplane became the most accepted airframe of early aviation, how about producing "beautiful biplane" videos from each era? WWI, interwar, WWII -- as well as sport / stunt aircraft and golden age general aviation? You might also produce a video of two biplane types not often talked about: WWI bombers and interwar passenger transports.
