The Convair XF-92A was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of a delta wing fighter. Convair test pilot Sam Shannon was at the controls for the first flight on September 18, 1948 at Muroc AFB (later Edwards AFB). During its flight test program, the XF-92 reached Mach 1.05 and experienced good handling at slow speed.

The sole XF-92A is on display at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, OH.
