[1] The Laminar family of hang gliders was introduced in 1994 and has undergone continuous product improvement, keeping the line at the top of world competition.
[1][2] The aircraft is made from aluminum and carbon fibre tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth.
The competition Laminars are "topless" designs with no kingpost or upper rigging.
The MastR model was introduced for pilots who wanted the Laminar wing with a kingpost.
[1][2] The Laminar series has won many World Hang Gliding Championships, including the 2011 contest held at Monte Cucco, Italy, when first and second places went to Alex Ploner and Christian Ciech flying Laminar Z9 models.
