Perlan 2 High Altitude Glider To Fly at Oshkosh
The Perlan 2 glider holds the world altitude record for subsonic flight.

Airbus will fly the Perlan 2 pressurized, high-altitude glider on July 26 at 2:45 p.m. CDT at this year’s EAA AirVenture. The Airbus Perlan 2 mission team set the world subsonic altitude record of 76,124 feet in 2018 and plans to fly it to its ceiling of 90,000 feet next year. The team hopes to fly a modified version of the aircraft to 100,000 feet.
