The 1948 Swift represented Supermarine's jet-age fighter and interceptor featuring single-seat, single-engine design with compact 9.9-metre wingspan. Its 12.9-metre fuselage achieved an impressive 1148.2 km/h, reflecting the radical performance jump of early jet fighters. The Swift marked Supermarine's transition into the supersonic era.
