Polar aircraft Polar5 and Polar6 operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute
Due to the remoteness and di culty to access the snow covered polar regions, ski-equipped aircraft are an indispensable tool for polar research. The Alfred Wegener Institute has a long tradition in airborne polar science – starting with the aircraft Polar1 and Polar2 in 1983. In 2007 the rst Basler...
