The Perlan: A Record-Setting Sailplane October 20, 2012

The Perlan glider -in which Steve Fossett and Einar Enevoldson set the world altitude record- is now on display in the Museum of Flight's Lear Gallery. It will serve as the focal point for an exhibit, opening in April, on the science of soaring, the Perlan project and the many personal achievements of its two pilots.
