How does a jet fighter with water-skis land safely? I just read about the Convair F2Y on the obvious encyclopedic site. It's a delta wing jet fighter from the 1950's, with hydroskis so it can take off and land on water.

Can such a landing be made reliably safe? What is the angle of attack, landing speed, and other techniques of such a landing? I'm concerned because it's such a small craft, and if the skis catch a wave the wrong way, it cloud flip over and disintegrate. It seems to me that even a tiny amount of waves on the high seas would make this thing very dangerous to land.

It looks like the Convair was canceled for a different kind of accident in mid-air. I could not find how many landings it performed safely. For all I know it could have been only 1 or 2 landings before it was canceled.
In the specific case of the F2Y, this video report from the US Navy and General Dynamics shows how it was done.

In the video: It lands on water the same way as any other amphibious aircraft. The only difference is that the engine intakes must be protected from water because too much of it will cause the engine to flame out and shut down.
