    We've all heard of biplanes and even triplanes; was a flying plane with four levels of wings ever produced?

    They certainly were but I don't how many of them were made and if they were very useful.

    "A few triplane designs proved successful during World War I; powered aircraft with four or more main lifting surfaces have never been more than curiosities."
