  • Perlan Project Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit aeronautical exploration and atmospheric science research organization that utilizes sailplanes (gliders) designed to fly at extremely high altitudes. On 29 August 2006 Steve Fossett and Einar Enevoldson, the pilots of Perlan Mission I, broke the existing altitude record for gliders by soaring up to 50,671 feet (15,460m) in a standard glider using stratospheric waves of air. Perlan Project is currently working on Airbus Perlan Mission II, where Airbus is the title sponsor. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale has ratified the altitude record of 15,902 metres (52,172 feet) on 3 September 2017 . This flight used the custom designed and built pressurized high-altitude Windward Performance Perlan II glider. The flight also collected data about earth’s atmosphere and its ozone layer. The project is awaiting ratification of altitude records of 18,492 m (60,669 ft) on 26 August 2018, 19,439 m (63,776 ft) on 28 August 2018 and 22,646 m (74,298 ft) on 2 September 2018. (en)
