Este ha sido el Convair F2Y Sea Dart, el único caza adaptado para operar desde el agua gracias a un sistema de patines. El primer modelo de pruebas realizó su primer vuelo de pruebas el 9 de abril de 1953 y 5 unidades estuvieron volando durante 3 años. El programa finalmente fue cancelado debido a las vibraciones del avión y a que sus capacidades eran algo inferiores de las esperadas. A día de hoy, este ha sido el único hidroavión en superar la barrera del sonido. 📸US Navy www.onthewings.es | O

L’US Navy craignait alors que les futurs jets soient trop rapides et lourds pour opérer depuis les porte-avions, d’où cette idée folle : un hydravion à réaction équipé de skis rétractables pour filer au-dessus des vagues.

The world’s only supersonic seaplane, the Convair F2Y Sea Dart, seen skipping across the water as test pilot B.J. Long wrestled it into the air. It was designed for the United States Navy as a carrier-independent fighter using retractable hydro-skis, the program was plagued by violent vibration, underpowered engines, and difficult water takeoffs. Following the fatal 1954 breakup of a prototype flown by Charles E. Richbourg, the project was ultimately cancelled in 1957.📹: Xeelee1123

Convair F2Y Sea Dart was an American jet seaplane fighter aircraft that rode on twin hydro-skis during takeoff and landing. It was created in the 1950s, to overcome the problems with supersonic planes taking off and landing on aircraft carriers. The program was canceled after a series of unsatisfactory results and a tragic accident on 4 November 1954, in which test pilot Charles E. Richbourg was killed when the Sea Dart he was piloting disintegrated in midair. The four surviving planes were reti
