The Convair F2Y Sea Dart was a unique American seaplane fighter aircraft that rode on twin hydro-skis for takeoff. It only flew as a prototype in 1953, and never entered production, but it is still the only seaplane to exceed the speed of sound.

The aircraft is a delta-winged fighter with a watertight hull with twin retractable hydro-skis for takeoff and landing. When stationary or moving slowly in the water, the Sea Dart floats with the trailing edge of the wings touching the water. The skis are not extended until the aircraft reaches about 10 mph (16 km/h) during takeoff.
