The Triplane was a successful attempt to produce a fighter with outstanding manoeuvrability and excellent visibility for the pilot. Records of procurement are very confused, but the Royal Naval Air Service received all of the small number of Triplanes available. 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.
The aircraft was fitted with a 110 hp or 130 hp Clerget rotary, radial engine. Maximum speed was: 117 mph (188 km/h)
Armament: One or two synchronised Vickers machine gun(s) mounted centrally on top of the fuselage, firing forward.
Our model is painted in the livery of the Shuttleworth collection aircraft. This aircraft makes regular flights during the summer season, should you wish to see it in the air. |
