The F2Y is the only jet water fighter ever developed in the United States, commissioned by Convair in 1947 and successfully flown in San Diego Bay in 1953, but ultimately failed due to technical and practical use problems.
The F2Y uses a triangular main wing and a triangular vertical tail, no horizontal tail, the air intake is above the fuselage to prevent seawater from pouring in, there are two J-46 jet engines behind the fuselage, and the landing gear uses a water ski, but the F2Y cannot solve the vibration and safety problems when taxiing on water.
This is the first water take-off and landing jet fighter in the United States, and it is also one of the earliest water take-off and landing jet fighters developed in the world. According to the plan, the aircraft was piloted by a single pilot under the designation F2Y-1, nicknamed "Sea Darts". It is more than 16 meters long, meters high, with a wingspan of about 10 meters, a single seat, a delta wing, equipped with two jet engines, empty weight tons, and a maximum take-off weight of tons, which belongs to light jet fighters.
The maximum Mach number of the "sea darts" has a practical ceiling of more than 10,000 meters, a maximum range of 820 kilometers, and a planned bomb load of about 10 tons. In order to be able to take off and land on water, the "Sea Dart" is equipped with a system that allows you to slide on water. The jet engine is equipped on top of the fuselage, and the air intakes are mounted above the wings to avoid the effects of seawater.
In order not to sink in the water, its fuselage is designed in the shape of a boat, and the internal structure is designed in the style of multiple watertight cabins.

Not put into production.

What kind of contract do you want to know?
Pomerania, East Prussia, Upper Silesia, and half of Brandenburg were lost, and more than 110,000 square kilometers of land, or a quarter of Germany's territory, were lost after World War II.
Relations with the United States, Germany are good.
