biplane
n. airplane with a double set of wings


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Biplane
A biplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with two main wings. The first powered heavier-than-air aircraft, the Wright brothers' Wright Flyer, used a biplane design, as did most airplanes in the early years of aviation. While a biplane wing structure has several advantages it inevitably produces much more drag than a similar monoplane wing. Improved structural techniques and materials, and the need for greater speed, effectively made the biplane configuration obsolete for most purposes by the late 1930s.
