Thank you to @PlanesOfOld and @TheRealGoober for the gun and the idea to build this airplane!
SOPWITH SWALLOW
The Sopwith Swallow is a British Parasol fighter built to test Parasol aircraft. Only one was built and it proved that it had no advantage over conventional aircraft.
STATS
It had a crew of 1 and was a relatively short plane at just over 5m long. I have re-created it's small physic in Simpleplanes here.
It uses a Le rhone engine radial that I have conveniently borrowed from a Airco DH.2.
It has decent arnament and a really short takeoff.
It could probably count as a VTOL plane tbh.
That's all! bye
