America’s Delta Wing Revolution 🇺🇸 From XF 92

Описание: In the late 1940s, the United States began experimenting with a radical triangular wing design that would change supersonic aviation forever.

It started with the experimental Convair XF-92 — America’s first true delta-wing jet. What followed was a rapid evolution of Cold War interceptors and high-speed research aircraft.

The Convair YF-102 paved the way for the operational Convair F-102 Delta Dagger, the first U.S. delta-wing fighter to enter service. That evolution reached Mach 2 performance with the powerful Convair F-106 Delta Dart.

Meanwhile, experimental aircraft like the sleek Douglas X-3 Stiletto tested high-speed aerodynamic limits, influencing future supersonic design.

The delta philosophy later evolved into blended configurations seen in the legendary Lockheed A-12 and Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird — aircraft that pushed speed and altitude beyond imagination.

This is the story of how America mastered the delta wing during the Cold War.
