  F2Y Sea Dart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sea Dart began as Convair's entry to a 1948 Navy contest for a supersonic interceptor aircraft.
The aircraft was to be a delta-winged fighter with a watertight hull with twin retractable hydro-skis for takeoff and landing.
The Sea Dart proved incapable of supersonic speed in level flight with those engines; not helping was its pre-area rule shape, which meant higher transonic drag.

 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.
