History and application of the Sopwith Scooter “Monoplane no.1” aircraft

The Sopwith Scooter, also known as “Monoplane no.1”, is an experimental single-seat sports aircraft designed by the British Sopwith Aviation Company in 1918, right after the end of World War I. Structurally based on the fuselage of the Sopwith Camel fighter, it was fitted with a parasol wing configuration. It was created with air racing and aerobatic trials in mind, and was used mainly in the United Kingdom during the interwar period. This aircraft was one of the forerunners in light sports aviation and a pioneering attempt to adapt combat experience to the new reality of peacetime.
