| | The Martin SeaMaster & Convair Sea Dart |
 | | The Sea Dart had a vee-shaped hull, and its internal spaces were organized as multiple watertight compartments to keep it afloat if battle damaged. |
 | | The Sea Dart could not take off or land on a runway, but each of the hydro-skis had a small wheel at the end, and a third small wheel was mounted near the rear of the aircraft to allow it taxi onto or off of a seaplane ramp. |
 | | The Sea Dart was, to nobody's surprise, badly underpowered with its J34 engines and remained solidly subsonic. |
