Condors

With the thermal and the heat of January, the young condors learn to fly and we learn to know them better. Unpublished and extraordinary movies and pictures.

4 records in a single flight with le Ventus 15 m.

The first French out and return 1.000 km in this class, the speed ont his course 128,7 km/h, three points distance 1187,6 km and free distance on three points 1421,3 km.

The 15 m class for records is unjustified

We demonstrate that the 15 meters class for the speed and distance records, such as those established in Patagonia, is unjustified: under such meteorological conditions, these gliders show the same performances than those of the “orchids” of 30 m wing span. Demonstration here.
