• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

What do you think about an aerobatic biplane with conventional tube fuselage with composite outer panels, mixed wood and composite cantilever tail feathers and mixed wood, composite and fabric wings?
The idea is to take advantages of the biplane design with monoplane construction technology to eliminate the external bracing and therefore improve aerodynamics and performance. The concept is neither new nor revolutionary, it’s been used for a while in biplane racing designs, but it’s never been tried in aerobatic designs as far as I know. The image attached is just to show the concept.
Look forward to see some opinions!
