About the Triplane, side view of an old aircraft with three straight wings stacked one above another and a nose propeller

A triplane is an old aircraft with three wings stacked one above another. Piling up three short wings gave the plane plenty of lift and let it climb and turn tightly, which made some famous World War I pilots love them. All those wings and their supports also created drag, so the design did not last long. Count the three wings from top to bottom and trace the struts between them.

• A triplane's three short wings gave it lots of lift for climbing and turning.
• The extra wings created drag, so triplanes were soon replaced by simpler designs.
