• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

How about a paper airplane?

That is neat! The next video showing the extreme glider is also fascinating. A glider that can fly 400 mph and hopes to reach FL1000? :encouragement:
 
The paper aircraft artist/engineer leaves me nearly speechless with awe. Seriously.

The next video about the glider is fascinating as well, though it contains a wee bit of incorrect info. The narrator states that a future glider is aiming at an altitude higher than the SR-71 flew. Not so, not by a long shot in fact. As my oath of national secrecy for 35 years after my Air Force discharge expired several years ago without any suits arriving to inform me of an extension: We were flying significantly higher than FL1000. Significantly. Not to diminish what the glider team is doing and pursuing, but just stating the facts. Hope the team makes it as well. Climbing to nearly 20 miles up... without an engine? Simply fascinating.
