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.

On Sept. 2, 2018, for the third time in one week, the volunteers of @Airbus Perlan Mission II set a new world altitude record, soaring the engineless Perlan 2 space glider to a pressure altitude of 76,124 feet / 23,202 meters. That altitude surpasses even the maximum recorded altitude in level flight of the United States Air Force’s famous U-2 Dragon Lady reconnaissance aircraft: 73,737 feet, flown by pilot Jerry Hoyt on Apr. 17, 1989. Official record by FAI is GPS altitude 74,334 feet / 22,657
