由于冰雪覆盖的极地地区地处偏远且难以进入，配备滑雪设备的飞机是极地研究不可或缺的工具。阿尔弗雷德韦格纳研究所在机载极地科学方面拥有悠久的传统 - 从 1983 年的 Polar1 和 Polar2 飞机开始。2007 年，第一架 Basler BT-67 (Polar5) 和 2011 年第二架 Basler BT-67 (Polar6) 投入使用并取代了 Polar2 和 Polar4。它们携带各种科学设备，用于研究岩石圈、大气层和冰冻圈及其所有相互作用。除了部署用于科学任务外，这些飞机也是德隆宁莫德陆地航空网络 (DROMLAN) 的一部分，该网络是一个后勤合作伙伴关系，旨在将设备和人员运输到南极洲德隆宁莫德陆地的各个站点。
Due to the remoteness and difficulty 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 first Basler BT-67 (Polar5) and in 2011 the second Basler BT-67 (Polar6) were brought into service and replaced Polar2 and Polar4. They carry a variety of scientific equipment for investigation of the lithosphere, atmosphere and cryosphere and all their interactions. Beside being deployed for science missions, the aircraft are also part of the Dronning Maud Land Air Network (DROMLAN), a logistical partnership to transport equipment and personnel to various stations in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica.
