The official website of The Ballad of Gay Tony describes the Swift as "the preferred method of transport for Liberty City high-fliers", a "turbo-shaft powered" aircraft that "shuttles its precious cargo in speed and comfort". While larger than the [[Maverick]], the Swift is, as implied, considerably speedier, with more powerful rotors and the ability to execute steeper rolls and pitches.


The design of the helicopter is seemingly a cross between the [[wp:AgustaWestland AW109|AgustaWestland AW109]] and the [[wp:Bell 222|Bell 222/230]]. The general design is from the AgustaWestland; the helicopter borrows the Bell's engine scoop design and the design for the end of its tail; the additional turbo intakes and the winglets seem inspired from the fictional attack helicopter [[wp:Airwolf (helicopter)|Airwolf]], an advanced stealth helicopter (which also a modified Bell 222 for [[wp:Airwolf|the 1984-1987 TV show of the same name]]).

* The Swift bears a "SANTO CAPRO" (roughly translates as "Holy Goat") livery with an emblem resembling a Sea Goat (Capricorn). The same emblem can be seen on [[Yusuf Amir]]'s tracksuit jacket that he wears. Combined with the fact that he owns the helicopter, and wears the jacket, Santo Capro might be a company that the Amir estate runs.
