Advances in laminar-flow airfoils and composites have sparked a renaissance in sailplane design. And no company seems to have exploited these two technologies more adeptly than Windward Performance in Bend, Oreg. With a team of aeronautical and tooling experts led by Greg Cole, the relatively young company has designed and manufactured the SparrowHawk, the first sailplane or glider built in the U.S. in 30 years. The firm also has another poised for production, the DuckHawk. But the company’s highest aspirations are invested in Perlan Project. Perlan is an attempt to build a unique sailplane that will ride the Polar Vortex surrounding the South Pole up to 90,000 ft or more and set an altitude record for manned flight.
