A biplane is a fascinating piece of aviation history, it is a classic aircraft design featuring two main wings stacked one above the other. The first powered, controlled airplane to achieve flight, the Wright Flyer, utilized a biplane wing arrangement, as did many aircraft during the early years of aviation. While the biplane wing structure provides a structural advantage over a monoplane, it also generates more drag. Advances in structural techniques, improved materials, and the need for higher speeds led to the biplane configuration becoming largely obsolete by the late 1930s. Despite this, biplanes offer several advantages over conventional cantilever monoplane designs, including lighter wing structures, lower wing loading, and smaller wingspans for a given wing area. With these benefits in mind, let's explore some of the most remarkable biplanes in the world.
