New Airbus glider is set to become the highest-flying winged vehicle ever

This is really poorly researched -- "highest-flying winged vehicle ever" when it hasn't even reached 90K feet yet.

An A-12 achieved a sustained altitude of 90,000 feet fifty years ago. A Russian MiG-25 reached over 118,000 feet forty-eight years ago. [0]
