NotesAdditional information with photograph: 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.
