PRS Peak explained
The
PRS Peak is a German single-place
paraglider that was designed by
Pilots Right Stuff (PRS) in conjunction with Robbie Whittall and
Ozone Gliders and produced by Pilots Right Stuff of
Brannenburg. It is now out of production.
[1] Design and development
The aircraft was designed as a mountaineering descent glider. Reviewer Noel Bertrand noted in a 2003 review that the Peak "opened up a market for very lightweight Para-Trekking models and several competitors have moved into this market gap."[1]
The models are each named for their relative size.[1]
