SOARING TO 90,000 FEET

WITHOUT AN ENGINE

Boldly Seeking Knowledge Where Few Have Flown Before.

The Perlan Project is an internationally celebrated, world record setting climate and aerospace research project.

We are expanding the boundaries of aviation and atmospheric research, exploring the stratosphere to the very edges of space in a zero-emissions research plane with no engine. As an all-volunteer organization, we depend on the contributions of donors and corporate sponsors to make what we do possible.

Help us make aviation history.

AIRBUS PERLAN MISSION II

The Airbus Perlan Mission II works to set new altitude records by flying the Perlan 2 higher than any other crewed wing-borne aircraft has ever flown in sustained flight, using stratospheric mountain waves and the polar vortex. In doing so, we continue to harvest invaluable data about earth’s atmosphere and its ozone layer.

The Perlan Project intends to use the Airbus Perlan Mission II to expand their educational programs by creating more partnerships and forming an international education community.

EDUCATION MISSION

The future of aerospace depends on inspiring the next generation of climate scientists, researchers, innovators and aviators.

Our education mission aims to do just that – by turning the stratosphere into a classroom for students of all ages from around the world. We hope that by providing these resources and opportunities, we encourage these students to ask bold questions, explore the unexplored, and aim ever higher in their curiosity.
