the Convair was a tail-sitter experimental VTOL fighter designed to take off from small warships. Landing the aircraft proved difficult as the pilot had to 1. Uncomfortably look over his shoulder, 2. Maintain throttle and 3. Control his aircraft while not crashing it. In 1955, the project was canceled. The last aircraft sits in storage at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Requested by @cappynukav2
