Based for a few years in Omarama , New Zealand , the project is currently based in Patagonia , at El Calafate, Argentina. The conditions necessary for a successful flight are quite exceptional:
Phase one of the project, a proof of concept flight, has a goal of 62,000 feet (18,900 meters). Phase two, which will probably be attempted with a custom-built glider, has a goal of 100,000 feet (30,480 meters). The current open-class absolute altitude record of 14,938 meters (49,009 feet) was set over California City , California , in 1986 by Robert R. Harris with a Burkhart Grob G-102. EXTERNAL LINKS |
