This was a joint program among the NACA, the Air Force, and Convair to test the country’s first delta-wing aircraft. Stability and control, pitch-up, and lift-over-drag measurements obtained from this program contributed to the technology used to develop the F-102, F-106, XF2Y-1 Sea Dart, and B-58 aircraft.
