Default Any news about the Concordia project?

From Aerokourier

Concordia – new superglider
According to a team of pilots and developers headed by the American,
Dick Butler, a glide ratio of 75 on an Open Class glider, perhaps even
80, is no longer beyond the realms of what is feasible. This they plan
to prove with the Concordia project. Wolf-Dietrich Herold presents the
vision of this superglider.

No, he really means the "Advantage", a Standard class sailplane
disegned in cooperation with LMM Boermans. I forgot about it.

So, it's two state-of-the-art gliders that we'd like to know more
about...!
