Just out of curiosity, as biplanes are gaining in popularity I am wondering what the wing area increase is over a monoplane. Not only that but what the actual reduction in size is of each individual wing. I am hoping that someone can explain if there is a percentage reduction, if that is influenced by the spacing between the two wings. Maybe even guys who are flying current bipes could post some measurements of root/tip cords and wing area so I can make some comparisons. There seem to be some large variances here by just looking at pictures but all seem to fly well. I'm at this point just trying to see what they all may have in common. Thanks to all who will participate in my little curiosity.
