==Real life== * Because they were intended to fly too high and fast for safe use of conventional [[ejection seat]]s, the [[Bell X-2]], [[B-58 Hustler]], [[XB-70 Valkyrie]], [[F-111]] and [[B-1 Lancer|Bβ1A Lancer]] all used enclosed [[escape crew capsule]]s of some kind. ** A similar concept OSCAR (Optimum Survival Containment and Recovery), was intended for the [[Vought F-8 Crusader]].<ref>Naval Aviation News, July 1971</ref><ref>[https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/nhhc/research/histories/naval-aviation/Naval%20Aviation%20News/1970/pdf/jul71.pdf navy.mil]</ref> * The single [[submarine]] of the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] "Mike"-class, [[Soviet submarine K-278 Komsomolets|K-278 Komsomolets]] had an escape capsule, which was jettisoned upon its sinking in 1989. Other Soviet submarines like the [[Oscar-class submarine|Oscar-class]] are only rumored to have escape capsules. During the sinking of the ''[[Russian submarine K-141 Kursk|Kursk]]'', the crew was unable to reach it. Also the [[Typhoon-class submarine|Typhoon-class]] is rumored to have escape pods located near or in the [[Sail (submarine)|sail]]. Evidence for this can be found in a German documentary on the ''Typhoon''-class submarine ''Severstal''. The [[Shishumar-class submarine|Shishumar class submarine]] has an IKL-designed integrated escape sphere. The sphere has accommodations for the entire crew with an eight-hour air supply.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.military-today.com/navy/shishumar_class.htm|title=Shishumar Class - Patrol submarine|last=ARG|access-date=2009-01-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090127053113if_/http://military-today.com/navy/shishumar_class.htm|archive-date=2009-01-27|url-status=usurped}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bharat-rakshak.com/navy/equipment/submarines/shishumar-class/|title=Shishumar Class}}</ref>
