The Blackburn Dart was a carrier-based biplane torpedo bomber designed and built by Blackburn Aircraft, and it was the standard single-seat torpedo bomber of the Fleet Air Arm between 1923 and 1933. Work began in 1919 as a private venture. Originally called the T.1 Swift, it made its maiden flight in September 1920. Three aircraft were ordered for evaluation to meet Air Ministry Specification 3/20, which gave the type the name Dart, and after first flying in October 1921 its performance impressed officials enough to bring a production order. The Swift name was kept for export sales, and Darts went to the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Spanish Navy and the United States Navy. Greece bought a modified seaplane variant, the Blackburn Velos.
