Tubeflight was the brainchild of RPI professor Joseph V. Foa beginning in the 1950s. Foa, his colleagues, and students studied a novel means of ground transportation in which a vehicle was propelled through a tube at high velocity. This collection primarily consists of RPI technical reports dating from 1964 to 1970, some of which served as reports to funding agencies. There are also four renderings illustrating what the system would look like, and an issue of the Rensselaer Review focused on Tubeflight.
