The Perlan 2 will have a ballistic recovery chute for emergency descent to the ground. The BRS strap has been installed on the fuselage prior to sending the fuselage to the paint shop. BRS Aerospace has donated time and expertise to the design and installation.
The Perlan trailer is finished and on its way to the port in Germany.
Thanks to Airbus, a model of the Perlan 2 was exhibited at the Pairis Le Bourget Airshow June 15-21, 2015. This model is now on permanent display at the Airbus Group Technology building. Here's just a few photos of the setup, before the public was allowed in on the first day.

The Portland Mini Maker Fair has come again. We were given the same booth that we had last year, so I think the Portlanders will be expecting us in the same place every year.
