The aircraft is a full-scale replica of the First World War British Sopwith Baby scout/bomber. The replica is built from modern materials and powered by modern engines.
The Airdrome Sopwith Baby features a strut-braced biplane layout, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear with auxiliary skids and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The Airdrome Sopwith Baby has a wingspan of 25.51NaN1 and a wing area of 240square feet. It can be equipped with engines ranging from 110to. The standard engine used is the 1100NaN0 four stroke Rotec R2800 radial engine. Building time from the factory-supplied kit is estimated at 450 hours by the manufacturer.
