Before 1987 the French manufacturer Ellipse was named Altiss. Initially made under the name Altiss from 1986, it continued with the Ellipse name, for advanced pilots. No kingpost – struts instead of side wires.
On the 1988 Virus, Ellipse had replaced the lower side cables with profiled rigid stays and thus removed the mat and return cables.
