A biplane works on the same principle as any other airplane. The propeller moves the craft forward, and the shape of the wing causes it to be lifted by the air. The idfference is that a biplane has both upper and lower wings.
Biplanes have more lift at lower speeds.
New biplanes are made of aluminium, steel, carbon composites and plastics.

The Wright Flyer was a biplane.
Yes they are still used
Back in the 'dawn of aviation' everybody used biplanes.
Biplanes are a type of fixed-wing aircraft that feature two sets of wings, one above the other. They were popular during the early 20th century and were used for various purposes including military combat, air races, and passenger transportation. Biplanes are known for their maneuverability and agility, thanks to the lower wing creating greater lift. However, they generally have a lower top speed compared to monoplanes.
Only in museums.
All biplanes have different wheelspans .
Upper and lower wings are on 'biplanes' -this feature offers more 'lift', but also more 'drag'. Many early aircraft were biplanes.
