The Sopwith Swallow was a British parasol wing fighter aircraft of the First World War.

A single example was built, but it saw no production, offering no performance advantages over contemporary biplanes.

[1][2] The Scooter, which was used as a runabout and aerobatic mount by Sopwith test pilot Harry Hawker, demonstrated excellent manoeuvrability, and formed the basis of a fighter derivative, originally the Monoplane No.

[1] Like the Scooter, the Swallow used the fuselage of a Camel, but it had a larger, slightly swept, wing of greater wingspan and area, which was mounted higher above the fuselage to allow the pilot to access the two synchronised Vickers machine guns.

[2] Engine problems delayed testing of the Swallow,[2] but when these problems were resolved, the Swallow proved to have lower performance than Le Rhône-powered Camels, and was discarded soon after testing was completed in May 1919.
