15902 meters

Thats roughly 50% higher than commercial airliners go

Brilliant... you caught more than you realize

Highest point was 72000ft

to give a little more perspective the SR-71 is the only plane that flew higher then the Perlan, reaching 85K feet, but no subsonic airplane including the U2 flew higher then the Perlan, the U2's record is 73,737 ft (22,475 m), the Perlan's one is 76,124 ft (23,203 m), almost a Km more. At those extreme altitudes the real problem is that the window between the stall speed, when a plane is too slow so can not sustain the flight and looses control, and the NE speed, the one where it goes too fast and wing flutter happens so the structural integrity is compromised, is really narrow, a little slower and the plane falls, a little faster and it falls apart, this is true both for planes with engines and for gliders, the planes have to be designed for the purpose of flying at those altitudes and it is extremely difficult and risky to push them to their limit.

go do some research instead of having everything spoon fed to you.

@Wroger Wroger I'm not the lazy one who can't do his/her own research. You response should be directed at Scot Weinberg not me.

@Wroger Wroger You missed the point of these comments. It’s not that you can’t do a web search for the information, it’s that the information is missing from this video. Why wasn’t it at least included in the video information? Also, if you search the internet you will find that this plane has made numerous record flights, so a legitimate question is, what record was broken in this video? What was the altitude?

52,000 ft is the stated altitude in another video (highly likely the same footage) which was posted on the same date by Perlan Project.

@@adamrmc100 bloody towed to 40k ft .. stupid

Still not bad! Best I did was 15160 in 1984🤤

waves

waves...

Google is your friend. The video is in this form, clean with no instrumentation, to accompany a website, not the other way around. More data than you'd care to look at is located at their website. Geezus, you fuggin people.

Well then at least leave a link in the description.

Max 72000ft

@@jasmijnariel How many legs is that?

@@clansman89 no legs recuired, only 2wings

Mountain lee waves caused by strong (western) winds overflowing the Andes range in the 90° angle. A stable layered atmosphere scales up the amplitude. The pilots reached a world record height in this flight at 54000 ft (16640m) ;-) www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/segelflugszene/cmsnews.html?month=092017&news=2470#2470 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_wave

Boredom!

haha :)

It looks so quiet... no turbulences at all ?

16459.2m

lol Classic flat earther 'scientific' determination... look how close it "looks"

Only NASA uses fisheye lenses, everybody knows that!

And the horizon is always at eye level

Paysie's rainbow earth is flat

8.5 PSI, which roughly equals 14,000 feet. They're breathing pure oxygen.

Losser 🤡🤡🤡🤡

I think 90,000 Feet

The highest altitude obtained in an unpowered aircraft is 52,172 ft (15,902 m) on September 3, 2017 by Jim Payne (pilot) and Morgan Sandercock (co-pilot) in the Perlan 2, a special built high altitude research glider. This record was achieved over El Calafate (Argentina) and set as part of the Perlan Project. (Wikipedia)

Yea this man ur watching rn broke the record

90,000 feet is the goal of the next phase of this project. This flight went up to 52,172 feet as per the Wikipedia quote jeoverv provided.

poor you, so deprived. Instead of living on youtube try Google for infomation.

It's about 53,000 feet

ima say a lens, since the wings were curved like that the entire flight, and the perlan ll glider doesnt really have curved wings like that

What?

​@Jenna Massey *_What!?_*

Thats the problem with the internet. Ignorance spreads easily and it is hard to stop. Flat Earth believing is proof 100%

Is it save for huma on this altitude in a glider? Or special equipment is needed? Ok -55°C is hard, but what about breathig and the preassure? Will blood boil at this height?

@@SkylineatME its a special equipped glider. Without all of this, in a standard glider you can make it up ti aboit 12000m

Yes, just like most sailplanes. Probably was towed to the very highest the prop plane could go, and then was released from the prop plane, and gained more altitude riding thermals.

@@propbraker Hahaha, thermals? Its called wave. Thermals are below cloud base.

hi boris, ~10.000 meters

wow that's very high for a single propeller plane! must be turbo modified with oxygen in the cabin... probably broke records all around!

Not 10.000 metres, but around 10.000 feets. It means aproximately 3.000 metres. Airport height is 192 metres. Here you can see the flight track: www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=6116604

blind

Isai Calderon turn thevolume down?

I agree with you. I guess it's like when no one is talking in a room and someone feels the need to break the silence. I think silence scares people or something.

Turn the sound off then, goddamned sound snobs.

Most computers, phones and tablets these days comes with the ability to turn off the sound... Ear plugs have been invented too, if you really like to take the no sound thing a bit further.

Probably addiction.

What are you on about? This video is not making a truth claim about anything. It simply shows the view from a world record flight. The proof you'll find elsewhere, it's all well documented.

then explain why there is curvature in the video?. Are all flat-Earthers blind?

Nevermind I thought this was a regular glider at first

T’es vraiment con ! Où alors tu n’as fait que l’école primaire aux État Unis

Yes, there is. Lol Christ!

@@__Tazzzo you’re so smart that you can’t even realize I’m quoting Neil D Tyson when he says you can’t see the curve from that height 😂💀. You literally can’t see the curve from that altitude dummy. But please come back with something clever I want to hear it

Os terraplanoides são tão cegos que inventaram uma doença que nem existe, a síndrome do olho plano, no vídeo da para ver bem a curvatura. São todos uns bando de fanáticos gados comedores de capim!🐮🐂🐃🐄🦬🥬
