The J230-SP is the latest development in the Jabiru J-series design family. This robust cross-country cruiser has replaced the venerable J250-SP as Jabiru USA’s premier turn-key Light-Sport Aircraft. It features the same 120-horsepower Jabiru engine, comfortable interior, and large baggage capacity as the J250, but utilizes a narrower, more efficient wing for improved handling and visibility. The J230-SP features the latest light-aircraft technology and full factory support right here in the United States. Whether your mission is flight training, the fabled $100 hamburger, or continent-wide aerial traveling adventures, a wide range of avionics & options are available to suit your needs and budget.
