Default Biplane design questions


"Chris Wells" wrote in message
...

The upper forward wing is the one that is normally designed to stall
first, unless it is an aerobatic type design where
both wings are designed to stall at the same time (better snap (or
flick) rolls, etc).

Why would you want the upper wing to stall first?

Not so important that it be the upper wing, but the forward wing. Same reason that stealthpilot posts "the idea is to
get the wing in front of the cg to stall first so that the aft wing which is still flying automatically causes the nose
to drop and recover from the stall."
