General Characteristics
The Globe Swift, later produced by TEMCO, is a classic American light, two-seat, all-metal sport monoplane from the post-World War II period. It was known for its sleek, fighter-like appearance and complex features, such as retractable landing gear, distinguishing it from simpler competitors of the era.

Design and Powerplant
- Original Designer: R.S. “Pop” Johnson (1940).
- Construction: All-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane (except for early fabric-covered ailerons).
- Landing Gear: Retractable, hydraulically operated conventional (tailwheel) landing gear.
- GC-1A Engine: Continental C-85 (4-cylinder, 85 hp). This initial version was often considered underpowered.
- GC-1B Engine: Continental C-125 (6-cylinder, 125 hp). This more powerful version became the primary production model, offering much improved performance.
- Mods/Super Swift: Due to the robust airframe, many Swifts have been heavily modified with engines up to 210 hp or more, earning them the unofficial “Super Swift” designation.
Performance (GC-1B) and Legacy
- Maximum Speed: 240 km/h (150 mph, 130 knots) at sea level.
- Cruise Speed: 222 km/h (138 mph, 120 knots).
- Stall Speed: 69 km/h (43 mph, 37 knots) with flaps down.
- Range: Approximately 680 km (420 miles, 360 nautical miles).
- Rate of Climb: 305 m/min (1,000 ft/min).
- Service Ceiling: 4,877 m (16,000 ft).
- Military Variant: TEMCO developed a tandem-seat military trainer version called the **T-35 Buckaroo**, based on the Swift, though it lost out to the Beechcraft T-34 Mentor for the USAF contract.
- Legacy: Despite short production runs by Globe (due to insolvency) and TEMCO (ending in 1951), the Swift remains a popular and actively supported classic aircraft today.
