Description
Inflight view of a U.S. Navy Convair XF2Y-1 Sea Dart. The Sea Dart was a supersonic jet fighter concept developed for sea operations. First flight took place on January 14, 1953 and five prototype aircraft were built. The XF2Y-1 remains the only seaplane ever to have exceeded the speed of sound (Mach 1). However, the Sea Dart never entered production. Jet fighter sea operations would provide an alternative basing capability in the event attacks on U.S. and NATO bases, that would render land runways useless.
