The LS7 was developed as the successor to the LS4, one of the most successful gliders ever produced.. In a departure from the design philosophy of the LS4, Rolladen-Schneider set out to design the LS7 as an uncompromised competition machine, seeking the highest performance possible with the technology of the time.
LS7 may refer to: Vehicles. General Motors LS7, a small-block V8 gasoline engine; Rolladen-Schneider LS7, a 1988–1993 German high-performance single-seat ...

The type consolidated Rolladen-Schneider's reputation for well rounded, easy to fly gliders that do well in any conditions, being known for its superb handling, tolerance of piloting technique and environment (turbulence, rain, contamination by insects) as well as for good glide ratios over a wide speed range.
This list includes any types which had 10 or more aircraft built or types which are important to glider development. All the gliders in this list can be found in the J2MCL web site with individual pages for each type. [1] This list does not include Motor glider types. (N.B. Some specifications are quoted with the wrong units!!)
This is a list of gliders/sailplanes of the world, (this reference lists all gliders with references, where available) [1] Note: Any aircraft can glide for a short time, but gliders are designed to glide for longer.
