Uav's (rc gliders) are now exceding 400 mph. Check out rcspeeds.com
the record is currently 445mph. If you look at the YouTube vids of
these records it becomes obvious why this form or dynamic soaring is
not appropriate for any manned aircraft.

cause he is known to fly
paraglider but from the days he piloted an F106 towed behind a C141.
For those who haven't witnessed that experiment:

Hi All,
For a good video with good sound have a look at
http://www.rcuvideos.com/view_video.php?viewkey=fc182d371c3e9ed31609 the
sound made going back into the front side lift/wind is whip like sound you
hear. This guy only got to 177mph but they have got to 301 mph.
Regards,
Arie
