Laminar Research is a small software company based in Columbia, South Carolina, and is dedicated to providing software that accurately reflects the laws of physics. Laminar's flagship product is the flight simulator X-Plane. X-Plane works with Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. They also have mobile versions for iPhone, iPad and Android.
In 2004, Laminar Research released the software Space Combat.
In October 2012, Laminar Research announced that they were being sued by Uniloc over an alleged patent infringement. Austin Meyer produced a documentary film called The Patent Scam, about his experiences being sued by Uniloc.
As of May 2017, X-Plane 11 has been released, a major iteration in their flight simulator. X-Plane 11 is available in both a consumer version, as well as a Federal Aviation Administration certifiable professional version. 

X-Plane is a flight simulator produced by Laminar Research. A desktop version is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, while a mobile version is available for Android, iOS, and webOS. X-Plane is packaged with several commercial, military, and other aircraft, as well as basic global scenery which covers most of the Earth. X-Plane also ships with other software to build and customize aircraft and scenery. X-Plane also has a plugin architecture that allows users to create their own modules, extending the functionality of the software by letting users create their own worlds or replicas of places on Earth. This is further enhanced by the Scenery Gateway which allows users to share airports with other users and eventually the airports are included by default in the base product.
On November 25, 2016, Laminar Research released the first public beta of X-Plane 11 to the general public. A second public beta was released on December 6, 2016, which fixed some major bugs.The official release of X-Plane 11 was on March 30, 2017.
