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.[1] The Koala is a mainly metal construction low-wing monoplane with a swept-back single fin and powered by a 75 hp (56 kW) VW/Limbach engine.[1] It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and an enclosed cabin for two side-by-side.[1]

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.[1]
