Airbus Perlan Mission II soars to over 62,000 feet, setting second altitude world record and crossing Armstrong Line
DYK: Our products are out of this world? No literally out of this world–well to the edge of space to be exact. Pro-Tint proudly supports the Perlan Project, an engine-less aircraft reaching the edge of space. The test pilots had safety concerns due to condensation inside the cockpit, so we installed our clear anti-fog film designed to sheet the condensation off vs allowing it to bead and obscure visibility. Airbus Perlan Mission II, the world's first initiative to pilot an engine-less aircraft to the edge of space, made history again yesterday in El Calafate, Argentina, by soaring in the stratosphere to a pressure altitude of over 62,000 feet (60,669 feet GPS altitude). This set a new gliding altitude world record, pending official validation.
