The Fulton Skyhook, officially known as the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system (STARS), was developed in the 1950s by inventor Robert Edison Fulton Jr. to solve the problem of extracting personnel or cargo from hostile or inaccessible areas without landing an aircraft. The system used a helium balloon to raise a line into the air, which could then be snagged by a specially equipped aircraft flying overhead. A V-shaped yoke on the plane’s nose would catch the line, and a winch would reel in th

#FunFactFriday - In the 1950s, the U.S. Navy began to experiment with the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system as a means to rescue downed pilots. Pilots would release a balloon with an attached line that would be snatched and reeled in by a passing plane. The system was used in 1962 during Operation COLDFEET to retrieve two CIA agents in the Arctic who had parachuted to an abandoned Soviet research station to gather intel and equipment. | U.S. Naval Institute

The Fulton Surface-to-Air Recovery System used a skyhook to rescue people without having to land the plane in the 1950s. Before testing on humans, American inventor Robert Edison Fulton initially tested the skyhook on dummies before moving on to pigs. When the pig was lifted off the ground, it began to spin while flying through the air at 125 miles (200 km/h) per hour. Thankfully, the pig arrived on the plane unharmed, albeit slightly disoriented.

Invention on Instagram: "The Fulton Recovery System was an innovative air retrieval method developed by the United States military in the 1950s. It allowed personnel or cargo on the ground to be extracted without the need for an aircraft to land. The system worked by attaching the person or package to a harness connected to a balloon that lifted a cable high into the air. A specially equipped airplane would then fly at low altitude and catch the cable using a hook mounted on its nose. Once the c
