The Soaring Society of America is holding its annual convention in Little Rock, Arkansas on January 28-30 this year. The Perlan Project will be there with a new mockup of the forward fuselage. If you want to see if you fit in the cockpit, then this is a good chance to try it for yourself.
This mockup has been created to test the manufacturing techniques for the pressure cabin. It is made of fibreglass because it is easier to see what you are doing with the translucent glass instead of opaque black carbon. It doesn’t hold pressure but it will be used to develop the fit and finish of the final components.
