 About Calspan - Company History and Timeline.
Conceived in 1940, the company was originally founded in 1943 as part of the Research Laboratory of the Curtiss-Wright Airplane Division at Buffalo, N.Y. It operated as the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory from 1946 until 1972 when Cornell University sold public stock in the lab and set it up as the Calspan Corporation.
Laboratory is incorporated as Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cornell University, and the Treasury Department rules the corporation to be exempt from federal income tax, thus establishing "non-profit" status that continues until 1972
Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory changes its name to Calspan Corporation and terminates its exemption from federal income tax.

 THEODORE PAUL WRIGHT: AERONAUICAL ENGINEER AND IDEALIST
In the spring of 1951, Wright became Acting President of Cornell and indeed was offered the presidency, but turned it down because he didn't want to spend his time raising money from the rich, one of the chief duties of college presidents.
Wright retired from Cornell in 1960 and from the Aeronautical Laboratory presidency in 1966, but he continued to be active in aviation and community affairs, especially in environmental and conservation problems.
He continued, for instance, to be a member of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics and was active in the Cornell Plantations in his retirement years.

 TIME.com: Meteor Tunnel -- Aug. 9, 1954 -- Page 1
Anyone who thinks that it will be easy to fly at such speeds has only to visit the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory at Buffalo, N.Y. and watch the tests being run in its hypersonic wind tunnel.
The flow lasts so short a time (1/1000th of a second) that the model is not damaged, but this brief period is long enough to permit the scientists to study its effects.
Cornell uses the hypersonic tunnel to find out what will happen to a guided missile that enters the atmosphere from space at many times the speed of sound.

 Great Moments in Science - How to Catch a Ball
It actually varies the angle between its direction of travel and its target according to how fast it's going, and how sharp a curve it's flying through.
But getting back to humans catching a ball, back in 1968, Seville Chapman from the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory Inc. in Buffalo, New York proposed his particular theory.
He claimed that somebody trying to catch a ball would move in such a way that the image of the ball on their retina would appear to go straight up, and at a constant rate.
