Sopwith Triplane - First World War Airplane

The U.K. designed Sopwith Triplane was a successful attempt to produce a fighter with outstanding manoeuvrability and excellent visibility for the pilot. Even though the Triplane remained in front-line service for less than a year, it was so successful that it inspired several German triplane designs. Only 150 Sopwith Triplanes were built.<br><br> The Sopwith Triplane found at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum is a reproduction built by American amateur airplane-maker Carl R. Swanson between 1963 and 1966. The Museum purchased it in 1966.<br><br> Note: This model is mainly meant to be viewed in a virtual environment using computer software.
