	Global Aircraft -- History of Aviation
		Their first flight was 102 feet short of the wingspan of the C-5 Galaxy today, yet they did what every man and woman has dreamed for centuries.
		On December 17, 1903, at 10:35 a.m., the Wright brothers' (Orville at the controls) made the first heavier-than-air, machine powered flight which lasted 12 seconds and spanned 120 feet.

		It is a coincidence that the "102" missile number became available just in time for the F-102 drones.
		The "Z" prefix was intended to be used to refer to a vehicle, which is still in the planning stage.
		Usually, drone conversions of manned aircraft are indicated by a Q prefix, i.e.

	Aerospaceweb.org Ask Us - F-102 in Vietnam
		About 1,000 Delta Daggers were built, and although eventually superseded by the related F-106 Delta Dart, the F-102 remained one of the most important aircraft in the ADC through the mid-1960s.
		The aircraft that he was ultimately trained to fly was the F-102 Delta Dagger.

		Anders....President Bush flew the F-102 Delta Dagger, the earlier Convair interceptor.
		There is an anecdotal story (told by the same pilot who now flies for Delta) about the F-102 (flown by Bush) and General "Chappie" James, the Tuskegee Airman who was the first African-AMerican to attain 4-star status, and retired after serving as CinC NORAD, and the F-102.
		He flew in Vietnam with Robin Olds and they were known as Blackman and Robin, and he actually flew on the mission that resulted in the greatest number of MiG kills in one mission (7).

	STAN STOKES AVIATION ART - Cold War Encounter (F-106 Delta Dart)
		Situation: General Dynamics began development of the F-106 “Delta Dart” in 1955, envisioning it as a modification to the F-102 “Delta Dagger.” The F-102 had first flown in 1953, and with the aid of a few modifications, that aircraft became capable of supersonic flight.
		The Bear is no match for the Delta Dart, and takes a heading to leave US airspace.
		Typical armament consisted of a 20-mm M-61 multi-barrel cannon, and an internal weapon bay capable of carrying a mixture of air-to-air, or air-to-ground missiles.

	F-106
		The F-106 began development as an improved version of the F-102 Delta Dagger all-weather interceptor.
		Convair F 106, like the preceding F-102, grew out of the company's delta wing XF-92A an American application of Germany's wartime theories and preliminary testing.
		Once within range of the enemy aircraft, the radar on board the Delta Dart locks onto the intruder, guides the interceptor to a favorable attack position, and initiates firing of the missiles.

	Convair F-102A Delta Dagger
		The last F-102A finally left ANG service in October of 1976, when the 199th FIS of the Hawaii ANG traded in their Delta Daggers for F-4C Phantoms.
		The first squadron in Europe to receive the F-102 was the 525th FIS based at Bitburg in West Germany, which received 25 aircraft in early 1959.
		Large-scale retirement of the F-102A from the ANG began in late 1969 and continued throughout the 1970s.

	Convair XF-92 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Research from the XF-92A test program was used in the development of Convair's two later delta-winged interceptors, the F-102 Delta Dagger and the F-106 Delta Dart, as well as Convair's B-58 Hustler bomber.
		The delta wing's large area of 425 square feet (39 m²), thin airfoil cross section, low weight, and structural strength made this a great combination for a supersonic airplane (although the fuselage was of a pre-area rule design).
		The XF-92A aircraft was powered by an Allison J-33-A turbojet engine with an afterburner, and was unique in having America's first delta wing.

	XF-92A Dart
		The YF-102 Delta Dagger was essentially a scaled-up version of the Dart, built to accommodate a Wright J67 turbojet with afterburner, a Hughes MA-1 radar system, and six Falcon air-to-air missiles carried in an internal bay.
		Besides validating the thin delta wing principle, the XF-92A played a major role in supporting the development of the Convair F-102A interceptor, the Air Force’s first attempt at an all-weather, supersonic interceptor.
		Delta wings have great rigidity and can be built thin, but still retain great internal volume for a large fuel supply.

	The F
		The F-106 all-weather interceptor was developed from the Convair F-102 "Delta Dagger." Originally designated the F-102B, it was re-designated F-106 because it had extensive structural changes and a more powerful engine.
		The last Delta Dart-equipped Air Force squadron, the 119th FIS based at Atlantic City, New Jersey flew its final alert duty on July 7, 1988.
		The remaining 13 squadrons were re-equipped with the F-106A by the end of 1960.

	Convair F-102 Delta Dagger
		By the end of 1958, 26 Air Defense Command squadrons were flying F-102As, and the Delta Dagger had replaced the North American F-86D Sabre as the most numerous interceptor with the ADC.
		The Convair F-102A Delta Dagger was the world's first delta-winged combat aircraft, the first supersonic all-weather interceptor, and the first fighter designed without guns.
		The first squadron in Europe to receive the F-102 was the 525th FIS based at Bitburg in West Germany.

	F-106 Delta Dart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The F-102 Delta Dagger, originally planned for that role, had a troubled development history, and the initial F-102A was to serve as an interim aircraft pending the design of the definitive F-102B.
		The Convair F-106A Delta Dart was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft for the US Air Force from the 1960s through the late 1970s.
		The Air Force placed an order for the F-102B in November 1955.

		The F-106 all-weather interceptor was developed from the Convair F-102 "Delta Dagger." Originally designated the F-102B, it was redesignated F-106 because it had extensive structural changes and a more powerful engine.
		The pilot takes control again for the landing. The F-106 Delta Dart was the first true computerized all-weather jet interceptor.
		Then it can fire the Genie and Falcon missiles, break off the attack run, and return the aircraft to the vicinity of its base.

		BOOK RELEASE: Even though your first love may be the Six, who could deny that it was the predecessor F-102 Delta Dagger that provided not only important 'proof of concept' operational data, but provided vital 'stop-gap' air defense for the nation until the Six came into service.

	Dec/Jan 2004 Supplemental Info
		The highly automated Delta Dart defended U.S. skies from Soviet bombers between the years of 1959-1988, as the F-102 Delta Dagger had done before it.
		Built in response to the threat of Soviet bombers attacking the U.S. by way of the North Pole, the F-102 was the world's first supersonic all-weather jet interceptor and the USAF's first operational delta-wing aircraft.
		The first delta-wing aircraft to fly, Convair's XF-92A design relied heavily on knowledge gained by the U.S. Air Force from studying the captured Lippisch DM-1 glider.
