The Convair F-102 Delta Dagger was a US interceptor aircraft built as part of the backbone of the United States Air Force's (USAF) air defenses in the late 1950s. Entering service in 1956, its main purpose was to intercept invading Soviet bomber fleets. Designed and manufactured by Convair, 1,000 F-102s were built.
The F-102 was the first operational supersonic interceptor and delta wing fighter of the USAF.
It used an internal weapons bay to carry both guided missiles and rockets.
The F-102 was replaced by the F-106 Delta Dart.
