On display in the X-planes hall at NMUSAF, Convair researched the high-speed delta wing in response to a USAF requirement for a supersonic interceptor. Enter the XF-92A, first flown on 18 September 1948. This aircraft helped in development of Convair's F-102 Delta Dagger, F-106 Delta Dart and B-58 Hustler.
