Convair XF-92 // USAF - NASA Airplane ModelThis airplane was the world's first jet aircraft to fly using the radical delta wing configuration pioneered by Germany's Dr. Alexander Lippisch during the 1930s. The Convair Model 7002 was completed in 1948 as a flying mock up for the proposed delta wing XP 92 interceptor. (In 1948 the Air Force changed the designation from P for pursuit to F for fighter). The XP 92 was to be powered with a new propulsion system that would consist of a ramjet engine
This airplane was the world's first jet aircraft to fly using the radical delta-wing configuration pioneered by Germany's Dr. Alexander Lippisch during the 1930s.
The Convair Model 7002 was completed in 1948 as a flying mock-up for the proposed delta wing XP-92 interceptor. (In 1948 the Air Force changed the designation from P for pursuit to F for fighter). The XP-92 was to be powered with a new propulsion system that would consist of a ramjet engine with several small rockets inside the combustion chamber. It would have been a short range, Mach 1.65 interceptor with a flight time at altitude of 5.4 minutes. The Model 7002 was designed to investigate delta wing behavior at low and high subsonic speeds.
When the XP-92's engine proved to impractical to build the project was shelved in 1948. Even as the XP-92 program was ending, the Model 7002 was being prepared to fly. The 7002 was initially powered by an Allison J33-A-23 turbojet engine and later the J33-A-29 turbojet with afterburner. It was formally delivered to the Air Force on 14 May 1949 and named the XF-92. It was flown by Air Force test pilots until its nose gear collapsed on landing on October 14, 1953, ending its flying career. With the experience gained from the XF-92 program, Convair was able to win the competition for the "1954 Interceptor" program and to build the successful delta wing F-102.
Only one XF-92 was built and it now resides in the Air Force Musuem collection at Dayton, OH.
