The Sopwith Triplane was a groundbreaking British fighter introduced in 1916 during World War I. Its three-wing configuration gave it exceptional climb performance and manoeuvrability, impressing both allies and enemies alike—including the Germans, who were inspired to develop their own triplane designs in response. Though it had a relatively short front-line career, the Sopwith Triplane left a lasting legacy in aviation design.
