The Convair F2Y Sea Dart was an American seaplane, supersonic fighter aircraft, that could take off and land on water using two hydro-skis. Convair F2Y Sea Dart was never mass produced, and only flew as a prototype. The Sea Dart was cancelled in 1954, following technical issues and a tragic crash killing the test pilot.
