The Convair XF-92 (re-designated from XP-92 in 1948) is an American, delta wing, first-generation jet prototype. Originally conceived as a point-defence interceptor , the design was later used purely for experimental purposes and only one was built.

First published in January 1945, his approach contrasted with that of Lippisch on thick delta wings. The thin delta wing first flew on the Convair XF-92 in 1948, making it the first delta-winged jet plane to fly. [34] It provided a successful basis for all practical supersonic deltas and the configuration became widely adopted. [35] [36]

English: XF-92A investigated the behavior of the tailless delta wing. All of these aircraft were successful in that they demonstrated both favorable as well as adverse behaviors. The XF-92A perhaps had the most influence on future high-speed designs. It was flown by Air Force test pilots on October 14, 1953.
