On the apron at Lakeland-Linder International Airport. This aircraft is powered by a 150 hp Lycoming O-320-E2D engine and features the short dorsal fairing.

On display at Florida Air Museum. This experimental VTOL aircraft was one of two prototypes built to a USN proposal to launch fighters from the afterdeck of ships. The XFV-1 was powered by a 5,850 hp Allison YT40-A-6 turboprop driving a pair of 16 ft. contra-rotating propellers. The design featured a cruciform tail with wheels mounted on struts. Called the Salmon after chief engineering test pilot Herman "Fish" Salmon, single flying prototype BuNo 138657 never achieved VTOL due to insufficient power. Fitted with a spindly fixed undercarriage, the XFV-1 was flown horizontally and held in hover.

Sea Dart on display at Florida Air Museum. Designed as a supersonic seaplane, XF2Y-1 prototype BuNo 137634 first flew on 14 Jan 1953. The XF2Y-1 had a watertight hull built on a centreline V-shaped keel and a 60 deg delta wing with the trailing edge touching the water. Underpowered by twin 15 kN J34-WE-32 turbojets, the XF2Y-1 was superseded by the YF2Y-1 with 27 kN J46-WE-12 afterburning engines. Two retractable hydroskis and a partly retractable single hydroski were tried, resulting in ski-pounding and porpoising respectively. YF2Y-1 BuNo 135762 exceeded Mach 1 in 1954 in a shallow dive.
