-ment. In fact, the stability of a biplane is<mproved if the top wing isplaced at a higher angle of incidence than the lower wing, particularlyif the wings are staggered. And the speed range of a biplane is slightly 83 improved if the lower wing is placed at a higher angle than the upperwing.… … ■Cai-Hedral Angle DIHEDRAL Bending up the wings across their span has very little effect on theLift or Drift, but is a feature used primarily for stability.
