It was the 6th highest soaring flight ever achieved, and certainly a #HIGHlight of 2023 on #AirbusPerlanMissionII. On Aug. 23, conditions were nowhere near ideal, but Chief Pilot Jim Payne and Co-Pilot Tim Gardner in the Perlan 2 spaceglider, along with the CapCom team went on the hunt to 60,300 feet (18,379 meters). How did we do it? Find out > https://perlanproject.org/perlan-flight-73-60300-ft/ | The Perlan Project

�The Perlan Project es un proyecto científico que llevó al aeroplano PERLAN II a alcanzar el record mundial de altura en un aeronave sin motor. Quedó probado que se puede volar mas alto que un avión, gracias a las particulares corrientes de aire que se encuentran en nuestra zona. Además de probar máquina y hombre, el proyecto estuadia la estratósfera consiguiendo relevantes datos científicos. En #2019 comenzó la última misión del #Perlan2 en #ElCalafate, oportunidad en la que buscará nuevo recor

Ever since humans have dreamed of flight, we have imagined flying like birds with our wings, wits and dancing among the clouds. Once released from tow (as seen in this video), gliders harness the natural flow of a complex atmosphere to gain height by finding lift – or rising air – that’s faster than the natural sink rate of the glider. There are three main types of lift (rising air) used by glider pilots to soar above the earth: wave lift, thermals and ridge lift. More=>http://www.perlanproject.

Before there was Perlan 2, there was Perlan 1 (and so much more even before that). The technique of riding stratospheric waves to unprecedented altitudes was demonstrated in 2006 when Perlan Project Founder and Test Pilot Einar Enevoldson along with Pilot Steve Fossett, flew a modified DG505m glider called the Perlan 1 to a new glider altitude record of 50,727 feet over the Southern Andes mountains. Catch up with Tago Di Pietro who is instrumental in leading our logistics in Argentina about this
