Pottier P.220S Koala

The Pottier P.220S Koala is a French two-seat light homebuilt aircraft and built by Avions Pottier. Further three and four seat variants were also developed.

Design and development

The Koala is based on the earlier P.210S Coati, a single-seat tailwheel monoplane. The Koala is a mainly metal construction low-wing monoplane with a swept-back single fin and powered by a VW/Limbach engine. It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and an enclosed cabin for two side-by-side.

Three and four-seat variants have been produced and others with different engines have also been built in the Czech Republic by Evektor and Aertotechnik, and in Italy by SG Aviation.
