The Convair XFY-1 Pogo is an experimental V/STOL (vertical/short takeoff and landing) aircraft developed during the early years of the Cold War. [1] It was intended to be a high-performance fighter aircraft capable of operating from small warships .

2023年6月29日 · The Convair XFY Pogo was an American experimental vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) tail-sitter aircraft. Following World War II, the Americans began developing VTOL combat aircraft, in the hopes of arming US Navy vessels with aircraft that could easily take off and land, protecting fleets without the necessity of an aircraft carrier.

康维尔 XFY-1（Convair XFY-1 Pogo）和 洛克希德·马丁 XFV-1（Lockheed XFV-1）属于50年代应美国海军的要求研制的。海军想寻求一种能在军舰的小甲板上垂直起降的战斗机以保护舰队。

The Convair XFY-1 Pogo is one of many attempts made after World War II to devise a practical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) combat aircraft. The British finally succeeded with the Hawker-Siddeley Harrier, but before this aircraft arrived, firms around the United States experimented with various VTOL configurations.

Convair designed the XFY-1 “Pogo,” a tail sitter with stubby delta wings and fins above and below the fuselage. Lockheed developed the straight-wing, X-tailed XFV-1 (initially known as the XFO-1). Both planes reflected brilliance and initiative in an era of free spending on defense that encouraged experimentation.
