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.Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04, page 28. Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster OK, 2003. {{ISSN|1368-485X}}
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."
