A 1957 video of the tests on Republic Aircraft's escape capsule. The model is 1/4-scale and is being tested in the NACA Langley 20-Foot Spin Tunnel. Escape capsules were a concept being explored that would replace ejection seats.
The 20-Foot Spin Tunnel still operates today at NASA Langley Research Center. To see more on this tunnel and other tests conducted there, see http://crgis.ndc.nasa.gov/historic/645.
