Convair's
XFY-1
Navy
fighter
picks
up
horizontal
speed
during
transition
from
vertical
takeoff
to
level
flight.
The
revolutionary
new
fighter
goes
from the
vertical
to
horizontal
attitude
in a
graceful
curve
starting
only
a
few
feet
from the
runway.
Tremendous
acceleration
of the
plane
permits
the
pilot
to
reach
horizontal
flight
under
200
feet
of
altitude.
