the same as regular planes they just have 2 wings
By-planes employ the same principles if flight as do mono planes The wing are shaped in such a way as to cause a partial vacuum over the wings which in turn hold up the plane so long as there is enough forward motion.
Biplanes changed America and Britain because it was now possible to send mail countrywide and it would get there in a day or two. later people could also fly as passengers and save a lot of time.
Biplanes have more lift at lower speeds.
New biplanes are made of aluminium, steel, carbon composites and plastics.

The first president to fly in an airplane while in office was Franklin Roosevelt. The first ex-president to fly in an airplane was Theodore Roosevelt, who flew as a passenger in a 4-minute flight in one of the early Wright biplanes on October 11, 1910, a year after he had left office.
"I stepped onto the plane." "The plane took off into the air." "Is that your plane?" Etc. :)

Yes they are still used
Jean Batten first flew two different Gypsy Moth biplanes then bought a more powerful Percival Gull monoplane in which she made many record flights.
