The development of this multi-purpose aircraft started by German aircraft manufacturers in 1965 year, with the main purpose of the initialization start design work served as the need for a suitable aircraft for the transport of passengers and goods is capable to carry out landing on water.

A sufficiently long period of development of the Pöschel Equator aircraft was associated with several re-optimizations of the aircraft design, in particular, it was initially assumed that the aircraft would belong to the class of light aircraft, but since the project would hardly be able to recoup itself in the shortest time, it was decided to expand The internal space of the aircraft, thereby allowing the placement of more people or cargo, and to ensure the aircraft is very popular. Nevertheless, the aircraft was never able to find significant support from potential customers, therefore only the 3 aircraft of this model were built by German aircraft builders for the entire production cycle.

Aircraft Pöschel Equator can pick up on your board up to 6 people, including one pilot and five passengers. In addition, thanks to a sufficiently powerful propulsion system used on this model of the aircraft, the aircraft is capable of carrying on his board and to 1 ton payload.

Despite the fact that the Pöschel Equator never gained popularity, German aircraft manufacturers have re-optimized this aircraft many times, mainly replacing the power plant with a more powerful and productive one on the current versions. The basic version of the Pöschel Equator aircraft has a Lycoming TIO-541 turbocharged six-cylinder piston aircraft engine capable of developing a power of 310 hp, but later versions were also equipped with turboprop power plants, due to which the flight speed was accordingly increased to higher rates. The maximum flight range of the German amphibious aircraft Pöschel Equator is very impressive, and amounts to 5400 kilometers, which in turn provides ample opportunities to overcome long distances.
