It was a single-engine, single-bay, equal-span biplane, slightly smaller than either the Sopwith Camel or Nieuport 17, with a proportionally large engine fairing and tall fuselage, which gave it a relatively stubby appearance.

Modifications were introduced, including a more powerful 110-hp (82-kW) Le Rhône or Clerget engine and staggered mainplanes, culminating in the Mk II design.

Russian sources indicate that it was fitted with a more powerful 130-hp Clerget engine that provided a maximum speed of around 200 km/h (120 mph) making the Bullit faster than both the SPAD S.VII and the Sikorsky S-20.

A number of additional examples are said to have remained in crates on the dockside at Archangelsk until the Royal Navy destroyed them during the evacuation of the allied expeditionary force in 1919.
