Pottier P.220
The P.220S Koala is a side-by-side two-seat version of the P.210 Coati.
In 1996 the production of the all-metal ultralight aircraft P-220 UL Koala was successfully launched. The production run until the end of 1999, totally 35 units of P-220 aircraft and 7 kits were sold.
Licenced production was undertaken by Aerotecknik (1998).
Aerotecknik obtained a licence to produce the Pottier 220 (1998).
Pottier P.130 Coccinelle / Bleu Citron
In 1966 Jean Pottier designed the P.30 Pétrel. It would have been a single engine, small, shoulder wing monoplane, but it was never built. Thirty years later Pottier produced a revised version seating two side-by-side and designated the P.130 Coccinelle. This venture was supported by the RSA’s Bleu Citron (English: Blue lemon) programme and the P.130 has sometimes been referred to as the Pottier Bleu Citron.
The Coccinelle is a simple wood framed, fabric covered monoplane, with shoulder mounted wings braced by a single strut each side from the lower fuselage longerons. The wings are essentially rectangular in plan, though with blunted forward tips, and have significant forward sweep. The balanced rudder is almost without a fin, though there is a shallow, triangular fillet in front of the rudder, which is large, straight edged and extends to the keel. The rectangular tailplane, mounted at the top of the fuselage, carries full span, rectangular plan elevators with a central cut-out to allow rudder movement.
The Coccinelle’s fuselage has a rectangular section throughout and its profile is straight edged except under the engine, where it curves upwards. The side-by-side seats are ahead of the wing leading edge and largely enclosed under a one piece, rear hinged, part bubble type canopy. Behind this are further transparencies which can vary from builder to builder but extend rearwards a little way into the wing. Most Coccinelles have a tail wheel undercarriage with front wheels on thin, steel cantilever legs, though a tricycle undercarriage is an option. Some builders have added spats.
The Coccinelle was intended for home building from his plans. These allow a choice between the P.130UL, meeting the ultralight certification requirements, or the normal P.130L. The 2014 French register shows that the latter is usually preferred. A variety of engines are suitable, including the Volkswagen air-cooled flat four with powers between 48–75 kW (65–100 hp) and the 60 kW (80 hp) JPX.
The prototype first flew in 1998 and by 2001 more than 60 were under construction in France. The European 2014 civil aircraft registers show 23 P.130s, 21 in France and 2 in Spain.
