The FAA has recently commissioned a portable hypoxia chamber that works by pumping nitrogen into the box rather than sucking the air out. Makes the entire chamber modular and portable. It recently spent several days at our civilian training airport on one of its tours of the country.

Despite the fact that it can't simulate a rapid decompression, it still is invaluable training. And travel to Oklahoma City is no longer required.
