The Swift comes in two liveries, the Classic Swift and the Flying Bravo. The Flying Bravo costs $100,000 more than the Classic livery which is black and gray. The Swift is mostly based on the AgustaWestland AW109S Grand in real life. It has an undercarriage arrangement and sliding doors.
The body of the Swift is quite narrow and adds to the sleek look along with the paint job. The landing gear consists of three wheels and is retractable. The tail boom is slightly angled upwards and has small fins on the horizontal stabilizers. This aircraft has a lot of space and a comparatively large cockpit. In the enhanced version, the instrument panel uses the dials from the Maverick and the Police Maverick.
The Swift is a helicopter with four rotor blades. It is powered by twin turboshaft engines and has better handling and speed compared to the Maverick. The Swift, however, feels a little heavy and cannot be compared to the performance of the Buzzard Chopper. The landing is quite easy due to the swift being highly maneuverable.

The player cannot purchase two vehicles of the same model, meaning one has to purchase each version with two different protagonists.
When an NPC lands a Swift, they won't always lower the helicopter's landing gear, and as a result land on the Swift's undercarriage, sometimes tipping over and exploding as a result.
The yellow tips on the Swift's main rotors cannot be seen when the blades are spinning, unlike other helicopters.
In The Ballad Of Gay Tony, when the blades of the Swift rip apart, they will turn black instead of white and before they rip apart, one blade will be of darker color and will be twisted. This explains that the "white blades" are actually blades with white color, as part of the entire color scheme.
