The Perlan Project is a research services organization based in Beaverton, Oregon, focusing on high-altitude atmospheric research to understand stratospheric waves powered by the polar vortex and their influence on ozone distribution, pollutants, and global weather patterns. Its work aims to expand wing-borne flight to extreme altitudes, with a current objective of reaching 90,000 feet in a zero-emissions research aircraft, advancing the study of climate dynamics while demonstrating what a small, volunteer-driven team can achieve. The organization serves researchers and engineers interested in atmospheric science and aviation innovation, solving problems related to atmospheric dynamics, climate change understanding, and flight planning at record heights. In addition to its core research, The Perlan Project collaborates with partners and organizations, including recent engagements with Argentine authorities and Thalēs Trading Solutions, to enhance flight planning and international collaboration. The nonprofit-style initiative operates within the broader space of aviation innovation and climate research, positioning itself as a conduit for scientific discovery, engineering advancement, and education of next-generation scientists and aviators.
