a Flute does not have a reed so it's neither a single or double reed instrument.
I think you are referring to the Bb clarinet which is single but there are acually 3 different types of clarinets. Bb=single Oboe=double Alto=single
The flute is generally classified as a woodwind, although it is distinct in that it is the only major woodwind that does not have a reed. Other woodwinds include the oboe (double reed), clarinet (single reed) and saxophone (single reed).

Cor anglais, or the English horn, is a double-reed instrument. It's a larger version of the oboe.
Single flute and double flute refer to the number of holes in the flute's body. Single flute has one hole, while double flute has two holes. This difference affects the sound produced and the range of notes that can be played. Double flute typically offers a wider range of notes and more complex melodies, while single flute is simpler and easier to play for beginners. Additionally, the construction of the flute may vary slightly to accommodate the different number of holes.
