The graphic has a great message about not pouring anything down the drain because it goes to the bay.

Awesome
Thanks. 😊
Its so good
Thank you! The original is for sale. I also have reprints available. Check out the website loprestiartgallery.com
So we could be cousins! My parents grew up in New Jersey
My grandfathers name was Lopresti. My father was born with the last name Lopresti but changed it because his dad took off on his mom leaving her with 5 kids. Are you related to the guy in the aviation industry?
Yes, we had a family business called LoPresti speed merchants. That evolved into LoPresti aviation. We later sold LoPresti Aviation to Whelen Aerospace.
Promo'SM 😭
Interesting
yes, the stall fence worked very well.
Great idea!!! Can’t wait!
Would be awesome if they’d made a few speed mods for the Piper Tomahawk or a modernized cowling.
It's a great shame that this never went into production.
Hello there, I fall in love of the Globe Swift airplane. I'm watching so many videos about this plane. I really like it so far because it is so beautiful and has a beautiful design! I am working quite hard to buy a Swift right after my pilot license (that is coming early next year). Wish you all a safe flight and fun, Bonjour de France, Thibaud.
As long as the video was, and you didn't even show a takeoff.
Those "state of the art computers" are old 1990's floppy disk computers. How old is this video???
Mr LOY LOPRESTI !! I REMEMBER YOU THROUGH> AIR= PROGRESS mag PAGES of the mid 60ties> 70ties !! As well your Unique EXPERIMENTATIONS N ACCOMPLISHMENTS !!// I FEEL PRETTY LUCKIE THIS VERY MOMENT!! JIST BY SEEING YOU !!// ALL THE BEST from> ATHENS Gr !!!
Hey bro I'm not real sure I like the pull knobs ..I think I would rather see a throttles quadrant ...
Tail fin is not swept forwards.
Yes, that was very controversial
that is some serious speed. too bad the company went bankrupt.
In the 70's I owned a swift (7BL) with a 200 HP lyc and Carbon cowling ( if I remember right) Painted it with red and white invasions stripes. I flew in the K-Dam swift flyin air shows in the 70's and other flyins in the 70's. After owning an A36 and Piper Cheyenne the swift is my favorite plane. A friend had a emergency back home and I had to leave early, I lest a movie of my aerobatics for everyone to watch the next night if any one knows of it I would really like to have it back. Probably 40 years ago. I think I gave it to Charley but he is probably not with us any more.
A turbine that doesn’t look stupid! Wow!
There’s no reason for an airplane to look stupid. We would not of created one that was not sexy looking.
If you want photos of this aircraft go to www.loprestiartgallery.com/aviation and use promo code LoPrestiFury30 for a great discount!
Awesome but only problem is wing loading.. At 200 mph.. You better have smooth air.. Or tge bumps will kill you
Nope. This was all new structure. No issues at 200. We would cruise at 215. VNE was..I don't remember but is was about 275.
It probably would've made for a great plane if it weren't for the tbM...
Very cool. Unfortunate never came to light
Looks good with the sidewinders on the wingtips
What a Great plane that one could be! Seems ahead of it's time. Nice
The NLF wing profile? 2022: we know its A Big Mistake!
Very beautiful aircraft. A modernized Swift work of art. The Military needs to research a modern version of the T-35 Buckaroo. Pilots would be fighting over the chance to fly it. I know I would.
who owns the plans/rights for this design?
We donated everything to the swift museum
Beautiful helicopter in intro, Mooney is gorgeous...
Great vid. I grew up as pilot during this era and was so hopeful for this plane. Mooney always sucked in financial department but Lo presti did/affected things you still see today re cowling and wing drag. It was a tough era to be in the small plane business. It would have destroyed the Pipers.
Roy got hooked after he won the Cafe 400 race on his taped-up Mooney.
Friggin Great ! Wish they were in Production ! Regards from Alaska!
When I was an active pilot my favorite plane to fly was the M20J. Never heard before of this Mooney 301, a real beauty. A pity it never got to be produced.
It kinda did. It was the basis for the TBM.
What happened to the plane?
This was a proof of concept plane and it was going to be put on the Piper production line in 1992.....but they went bankrupt and the engine manufacturer wanted the engine back.
meh....
Mooney always built beautiful airplanes. They had the Mustang that was pressurized before this. Wonder where piper got their idea for the Malibu?😜
I prefer the regular swift. Definitely not the same level of performance but it is a classic machine!
I'm sorry but I have to call this out: The only connection between this and either a P-40 or a spitfire is that all three have wings and a propeller. It looks tame and harmless. As for 5000 ft/min clam - hmmm - I want proof.
Well to get your proof you would have to get in your time machine because the airplane no longer exists. You can try Bill Cox I think he did a flight report on this airplane. As for the 5000 feet per minute claim. Was actually a little more than that. But 5000 was a nice round number.
Having flown a similar sized aircraft with comparable cruise speeds and HP/weight ratio, 5K was definitely possible. Far more performance than what something like a Mustang II would provide. As for the P-40/spitfire similarity, I'm not sure what you were expecting...it's not a scale replica, it simply borrows style and design elements from both, just like a Midget Mustang/Mustang II borrows elements from the P-51. The tail is certainly reminiscent of a P-40 and later model Spitfires. It's not as evident in this video, but the canopy of an original GC-1 had the same birdcage design of early P-40 and Spitfires, and the rear window followed similar lines that early P-40's had over the turtledeck. Even the wing planform of the GC-1 followed the same lines as the P-40. This particular aircraft had squared off wingtips that reduced the planform similarity, as well as the redesigned canopy that diverges from the original swift, but the similarities are still there.
Can't speak regarding the Spitfire similarity...but some resemblance to the Curtiss P40 may be bc KH "Bud" Knox had a hand in designing both the P40 and GC1B. Knox worked for Curtiss before working for Globe.
Swift is an OK airplane to fly, but the landing gear really, really sucks! I have had 2 gear related "crashes" in a swift and will not get in another one! (gear did not lock down as indicated by a green light AND a visual indicator x 2)
There was a total redesign on the gear. The new one was hydraulic.
I can sympathize with you and your landing gear problems with the Swift. In the early 1950's, when I was an airport bum as a kid, I always went to the back of hangers to see where the Swift was with a collapsed landing gear. Sure enough - there it was! I think every hanger had one.
Love the Dallas-tingued music.
Definitely not in Dire Straits

Where do I know that name from?
Is this aircraft in a hangar somewhere? Just curious what happened to the airframe ?
The last I heard this airframe was at the mechanics school in Waco Texas. TSTI
😔 Promo-SM.
It looks so nice keep up the good work sir
Thank you
That's a really cool table I want that in my life
Thank you very much! I would love for you to have this in your life. If you direct message me I can set up an order for you. Plus, I can get you a great discount!
My "I Want One" gauge is pegged on this!
You call this a trail???
Sebastian is a joke crap trail like the town
When will we see a LoPresti idea like The Flying Nautilus, an idea for a flying submarine, at the Reno air races. All the family has to do is get a surplus WW2 sub, extend the dive planes a couple hundred feet call it a new idea, make a YT video.
Ha ha ha
