Convair XF-92
The Convair XF-92 was the first American delta-wing aircraft. Originally conceived as a point-defense interceptor the design was later made purely experimental. However its design suitably enlarged led Convair to use the delta-wing on a number of designs including the F-102 Delta Dagger F-106 Delta Dart B-58 Hustler Navy's F2Y Sea Dart as well as the experimental XFY.
The design of the F-102 is based on the Convair XF-92, which itself
was based on the Lippisch Delta design glider DM1. The DM1 was
captured in Germany and brought to the USA.1
