Convair XP-92 / XF-92 - Projects and Development

[Hydroman]

Derived from the Lippisch DM-1 after the WW2. Northrop's Have Blue contender probably took from some Lippisch designs.

Miles M.52, Convair XP-92, Leduc 010. What might have been... (for the record: the Leduc hit Mach 0.84 but its old school wing ran straight into compressibility).

So while looking for other stuff, I ran across a SPF post listing some docs online for the Convair MX-774 missile testbed, flown circa 1948. One document describes a proposed recoverable MX-774 sounding rocket.

It is listed as the "Model 6002" - which leads one to ask if the use of "Model 7002" for what became the XF-92A is not a one-off or a mangled accounting number (7-002 as above), but a member of yet another [highly obscure] Convair Model designation system...

Ground truth:
