What has happened to the Perlan project? Is the board of directors on vacation?
Essentially all components for the Perlan 2 high altitude gliders are
produced. The Board members and many others are working hard on raising
the funds required to complete the major assemblies (wings and fuselage)
for the Perlan 2 glider, it's flight testing, and the first expedition
to Argentina.
In the meantime, Windward Performance is focusing on producing the
DuckHawk and SparrowHawk gliders.

Greg Cole gave the Barnaby Lecture last year. Very interesting. SSA pledged funding for the GPS logging.
