 The Swallow was one civilian design which tried to make use of the early plasma drive designs to allow fast orbital insertion and escape. Compared craft such as the Albatross, it could simply point away from the planet and thrust. In order to achieve this though, the Swallow sacrifices maximum speed and also durability - the design is stripped down to the bare essentials in order to reduce mass to a minimum.
