The XFY-1, or Pogo as it's known, boasts an aggressive fuselage design featuring two closely-knit near-delta wings and imposing fins positioned on either side - one pointed towards the bottom, while the other faces upwards, producing a cross-like silhouette when viewed from above. Two miniature wheels sit atop each of these surfaces at their outer edges, holding up the aircraft's underside whenever it comes to rest on its front end while parked on level ground. As its powerplant, a robust Allison YT40-A-6 turboprop engine is fitted, pumping out 5,850 horsepower and feeding into two revolving propellers along with a sizeable hub for reduced air drag during takeoff and cruising flight phases. In emergency scenarios necessitating an abrupt touchdown on the runway or over water - particularly when piloting solo without passengers aboard to increase the aircraft's overall weight and lift capacity safely away from crashing gears at maximum safe load weight levels under specific conditions prior approaching full-scale deployment phase before moving ahead fully integrated with full-service maintenance staff on regular intervals according, its designers cleverly allowed detachable underside wing structure which enables vertical stabilizing by eliminating added unnecessary components taking extra space thereby enhancing both aerodynamic properties while cutting excess costs associated directly from initial construction phase thus bringing it down closer manageable price points eventually meeting commercial viability standards following exhaustive analysis studies completed over entire project timeline resulting into fully-fledged prototype production schedule successfully concluded during mid 50's decade at California State Naval Base Moffett located near vast open waters.
