Lt. Col. John Paul Stapp, 44, an aero - medical scientist, set the mark during an air survival test in a rocket-propelled open sled roaring along rails of a 3,500-foot track, There was no windshield to protect him from the terrific rush of wind. He wore a plastic helmet and visor. “My eyeballs became uncaged, but there was no impairment of thinking,” he said in a telephone interview. Although he made his rapid jour- ney at Holloman Air Development Center, N.M., 0n Dec. 10, the Air Force didn’t disclose details until yesterday. The speed record came only as a secondary part of the test. Stapp’s ride was taken to simulate pressure that airmen would en- counter bailing out of a supersonic plane flying 1,000 m.p.h. at an al- titude of 35,000 feet. Asked if he is convinced a pilot can safely bail out at supersonic speeds, the bespectacled scientist said he wants to make another test before giving an answer, Re-| sults will determine the best typ of ejection apparatus for high speed airplanes. ‘ On the Dec, 10 run.
