The '''Convair XF-92''' (re-designated from '''XP-92''' in 1948) is an [[United States|American]], [[delta wing]], [[jet fighter generations#First generation|first-generation jet]] prototype. Originally conceived as a [[point-defence]] [[interceptor aircraft|interceptor]], the design was later used purely  for [[experimental aircraft|experimental]] purposes and only one was built. However, it led Convair to use the delta-wing on a number of designs, including the [[Convair F-102 Delta Dagger|F-102 Delta Dagger]], [[Convair F-106 Delta Dart|F-106 Delta Dart]],  [[Convair B-58 Hustler|B-58 Hustler]], the [[US Navy]]'s [[Convair F2Y Sea Dart|F2Y Sea Dart]] as well as the [[VTOL]] [[Convair XFY Pogo|FY Pogo]].
