No, traditional hang gliders do not have a motor; they are non-motorized aircraft that rely on the pilot's ability to control the glider's aerodynamic surfaces for lift and navigation. However, there are powered variants known as powered hang gliders or motorized hang gliders, which are equipped with small engines to provide thrust. These powered versions allow for takeoff and extended flight without the need for thermal updrafts.
