An airplane with a single pair of wings is called a "monoplane." This is opposed to a "biplane" which has two pairs of wings or a "triplane" which has three. Since biplanes and triplanes have become so rare, the phrase "monoplane" has fallen into disuse as the monoplane configuration is regarded as being the standard.
