This 1956 video is of the Fairchild M224 vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) research airplane. The Army designation for the plane is VZ5FA. Tests are conducted at the NACA Langley (now known as NASA Langley Research Center) 7X10-Foot Low Speed Tunnel. Nice color video - silent.

The tunnel was built in 1945 and demolished in 1970 when it was replaced by the 14X22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel on the same site. To see more on the original tunnel, see http://crgis.ndc.nasa.gov/historic/1212A.
