The Convair XFY Pogo tailsitter was an experiment in vertical takeoff and landing. The Pogo had delta wings and three-bladed contra-rotating propellers powered by a 5,500 hp Allison YT40-A-6 turboprop engine. It was intended to be a high-performance fighter aircraft capable of operating from small warships. Landing the XFY-1 was difficult as the pilot had to look over his shoulder while carefully working the throttle to land.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the US Navy sought to develop an aircraft that could take off and land vertically, eliminating the need for large aircraft carriers, and provide instant air support for landing troops. There were three prototypes XFY-1 Pogo, the last one is exhibited in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington D.C.
