Biplane with upper wing removed behaves just like biplane with both wings removed.

Well do you know why?
You're jeesus
You're the saviour
You can peform miracles.
lol.
Infact you don't even need a plane to fly, you already can
Also the walk on water ability, I class that as an exploit TBH!.

It crashes, yes.

they're designed to be aerodynamically stable with both wings; remove one and its shape is all wrong; it can't generate the lift it needs, or the remaining wing's control surfaces may not be enough to manoever it propperly.

what he says! lol :wink:

what if alternate wings got shot off? e.g. top right and bottom left blown off

[roger-wilco-66]

My understanding of the structure of biplane wings - or the whole structure of that kind of airplane design - is that the upper and lower wings support each other by wire and strut bracing (even the fuselage of the plane is internally stabilized by wire bracing) . If the bracing is shot, or a entire surface (wing) is destroyed, the whole mess folds together and is gone. Or in another view, you will have a huge increase in entropy in that aerodynamical system. Everything else is far fetched theory!

If lower wing is removed then upper wing falls off but removing upper wing doesnt detach lower wing.

LOL. Kind of like asking why a four wheeled automobile can't drive the same with two wheels removed.

I get that all the time too!

No. Its more like asking why a four wheeled automobile with two wheels removed can't drive the same with all wheels removed. Do you think that when upper wings are removed lower wings lose lift and drag?

I swear i saw a j8 flying with one wing missing when it first came out!

[P/O W. 'Moggy' Cattermole]

On the subject of people refusing to get near an aircraft with me; my grandad said that when he saw me on MSFlightSim 98. What was eerily prophetic was that i had just intentionally flew a 737 into one of the world trade centre towers....

A lot of us used to do that as a joke before 9/11. Since then things kinda changed so that joke lost its appeal...

[P/O W. 'Moggy' Cattermole]

I'd like to point out that i stopped doing things like that ages before 9/11; the idea of doing it post 9/11 would be sick.
