	Convair Model 37 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Convair Model 37 was a large passenger aircraft planned, but never built, by Convair.
		It was to be a civilian airliner version of the Convair XC-99 transport plane, and thus eventually derived from the giant B-36 bomber.
		The Model 37 was to be of similar proportions to the XC-99; 182 ft 6" in length, 230 ft wingspan, and a high-capacity, double-deck fuselage.

		Convair addressed this problem, beginning with the B-36D model, by adding four auxiliary jet engines in pods under the outer wings to provide short-term boosts in power.
		RB-36s were distinguishable by the bright aluminum of the camera compartment (contrasting with the dull magnesium of the rest of the fuselage), and by a series of radar domes under the aft fuselage.
		An operational nuclear reactor was fitted in the aft bomb-bay of the aircraft, a four ton lead shield inserted in front of the bomb bay, and the crew was encased in a lead and rubber capsule with a tiny, 1 foot (30 cm)–thick leaded glass windshield.

	Convair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, universally known as Convair, was the result of a 1943 merger between Consolidated Aircraft and Vultee Aircraft, resulting in a leading aircraft manufacturer of the United States.
		In March 1953, Convair was acquired by General Dynamics, becoming the Convair Division of the merged company.
		In 1994 this aerostructures unit was sold to McDonnell Douglas, the Fort Worth facility went to Lockheed, and in 1996 General Dynamics shut down the Convair Division.

	Convair B-36 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Convair (Consolidated Vultee) B-36 was a strategic bomber operated by the United States Air Force, the first to have truly intercontinental range.
		Convair touted the B-36 as a "aluminum overcast," a "long rifle" to give SAC a global reach.
		The B-36 was the basis for the Convair XC-99, a double-decked military cargo aircraft, the longest practical aircraft (185 ft, 56 m) of its era.

		That the recently announced Model 37 is far and away the largest flying machine on the immediate post-war docket is obvious.
		The Model 37 may have a pair of inline engines in each nacelle, with a long uni-twin head and shaft driving the three-blade propellers.
		In operation, the Model 37 follows a performance pattern which is more Or less general in projected multi-engine transports, although its load is obviously greater than that of the Boeing Stratocruiser, the Douglas DC-7, the Lockheed Constellation, and the Martin Mars.

		While eight more YF-102s (Model 8-82, serials 53-1779/1786) were being built to the same standards as the first two aircraft, Convair embarked on a major investigation and redesign program in an attempt to save the F-102.
		The wingspan was increased from 37 feet to 38 feet 1 1/2 inches, the wing area increased from 661 square feet to 695 square feet, and the gross weight increased from 26,404 pounds to 28,150 pounds.

		Although flying from the oceans would allow such an aircraft to operate from forward areas, there was another reason for wanting to build such an aircraft: the Navy wasn't certain that a supersonic aircraft could be operated from a carrier of any reasonable size.
		Convair's proposal won the competition on 19 January 1951.
		The YF2Y-1 was similar in appearance to the XF2Y-1 but had a longer, redesigned exhaust, and the little beaching wheels were removed from the hydro-skis and the fuselage, meaning it had to be fitted with external beaching gear to be brought up on shore.
