Overview
The Buckingham Swift is a aircraft-class aircraft from Buckingham, provides rapid point-to-point traversal bypassing ground traffic entirely. Drawing clear inspiration from the AgustaWestland AW109 / Bell 429, it brings refined British sophistication to the streets of Vice City.
In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Buckingham Swift benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.
Real-Life Inspiration
Buckingham Swift
Manufactured by Buckingham in the GTA universe.
AgustaWestland AW109 / Bell 429
Produced by Leonardo.
The real-world AgustaWestland AW109 / Bell 429 by Leonardo serves as the primary design inspiration. GTA 6's interpretation preserves the signature proportions and key design language while applying Rockstar's characteristic satirical modifications to badges, grille patterns, and taillight clusters.
Performance Stats
Powered by a jet-a1 (turboshaft) powertrain delivering competitive performance within the Aircraft class. The Twin-Engine configuration provides responsive propulsion. Estimated top speed of 175 mph (est.) places it in the A-Tier (Air) bracket.
Rideout Dyno & Engine Rev Studio
Procedurally synthesized acoustic simulation for the Buckingham Buckingham Swift (AVIATION ROTOR). Hold throttle or press Space to rev.

Dual-Spool Turboshaft Engine Assembly
Rapid vertical climb rate outpaces ground pursuit. High altitude enables radar evasion across Leonida airspace.
Tail rotor damage instantly initiates uncontrolled autorotation flat-spin.
Customization Options
Rideout Customs support includes custom livery paints, upgraded avionics displays, and interior cabin appointments.
Drivers can take the Buckingham Swift to Rideout Customs in Vice City for extensive tuning packages, or utilize Pay & Spray locations for fast repaints, chase-breaking resprays, and legitimate vehicle re-registration to prevent police despawns.
How to Get It
Purchasable from in-game Elitas Travel or military airfields in Vice City.
