@@tezalain9838 on the rising, I spends almost no battery, then it glides back to the take off spot, again, almost no battery. The most energy thirsty is the video recording equipment. Regarding to be shot down, it almost does not show at a radar at all, very small radar signature...
@@everettbruckerhoff6029 The U2 went to 80k. The SR71 flew considerably higher. Maybe not "officially," but Brian Shul has mentioned being able to see LA from Tucson. Even accounting for atmospheric refraction, you can't see LA from Tucson from 80k ft.
@@rapid13 Official record for the SR-71 belongs to tail #963 at 85,135 ft on July 27-28 1976 (www.sr71.us/spd_run001.html) Any discussion of a higher altitude capability is purely speculation. It's also moot to the question of comparison, as the official record exceeds the glider's highest glide altitude by 1475 ft.
@@jadefalcon001 And as we all know, the government always tells the whole truth and nothing but. I’m sure they would never fudge the actual capabilities of a spy plane platform. But you are correct: it is pure speculation.
@@everettbruckerhoff6029doesn't matter this things doesn't count because it never be the same as the blackbird weight 76 or 78 tons and carry on 2 crew and fuel also not to mention very fast moving compare to this things sustain 85k feet more than 2 hrs so you got what I saying??
Pretty incredible to be touching something that was just on the verge of space. Great video, woulda liked a little more scenery from the flight. Would like to try something like this one day myself, thanks.
more like 40% of the way to space, but who's counting? Space is 264,000ft if you use the American definition, or 324,000ft if you use the international definition.
Presumably you need Civil aviation authority clearance before you can do this?....or are there area's where the ascent and fall are away from aircraft routes?...interesting to know? Thanks for the vid.
lol at first glance i red "cordless near space glider" & thought "No Shit" 😏😁 but nice plane! a 360° cam & releasing the full flight video would be amazing!
at such a height it essentially falls and does not glide, I have an idea to attach a very small jet engine to such a glider that could work for some time from a gas canister that is used to fill lighters and from a canister with liquid oxygen, then this glider would be a mini rocket plane
But.... I was told that the earth was flat, and whoever shows photo/video of round earth has photoshopped it 🤔, did you edit this video before uploading? (Edit: and I was told to add jk at the end of comment to keep toxic people away)
Not FAA, but our national, polish CAA (compliant with EASA). Yes, our flights had all the required approvals. There was no transponder in this flight, but we have to meet a lot of requirements.
@@101m4n no, clouds Cumulo and Cumulonimbus are the visible part of the thermals, after they reach the vapor point, they can go very high, like 20km in extreme cases, but more common below 12km...
Dont believe thermals go that high. At 30,000 feet the molecular temperature is 3,500°F but the molecules are so far apart that its negative °F actual feel Could be slightly wrong with numbers but that what i remember from memory. So with there being little oxygen up that high and far spread out molecules theres no way a thermal would rise that high not to mention the atmosphere keeps oxygen here instead of rising out freely
Witamy. Oczywiście wykonano dużo pracy. Czy były jakieś problemy z jazdą na maksymalnej wysokości? Czy udało Ci się latać na maksymalnej wysokości przez jakiś czas?
85k feet it still impressive to me consider that's it can hold and sustain for a longer period of time Even a fighter jet and can't topple or sustain at this altitude neither mig 31 or 25 lol So what did balloon can do? Imao
From the comments I realised not to ask any questions at all nor show any interest in the project at all because no one will answer, there is no further info and the details will remain a mystery to the end of time. Moving along then ...
@@Cloudless1 Awesome mate - all the best for the project, you've done what nearly every aviation hobbyist has dreamed of at some point! Thanks for sharing
Imagine this with solar panels and internet connection through satellites and you would be able to fly around the earth! 😲 that would be amazing! Unless you are a flat earth believer 😂
NASA, (or rather their contractors) have done studies like this, especially in 1990s -- to test airplanes designed to fly on Mars. Obviously nothing came out of this until very recently.
Because they're not idiots that believe pseudoscience, so they go with whatever will give them the best shot instead of whatever will pander to dingbats that can't even explain what a lunar eclipse is.
