Corrected sentence:

The two wings of a biplane let it take off from short runways and glide for long distances.

Why this is better (easy steps):

  • "Two wings" is a simple way to say "double wings" so it is easier to understand.
  • We say "take off from" a runway — the plane starts on the runway and then flies up.
  • "Glide" means the plane flies smoothly for a long time. "Drift" sounds like being pushed by the wind, so "glide" is clearer here.

If you like a shorter version for a child: "A biplane has two wings. The wings help it take off from short runways and glide far."
