Why choose Jabiru?

Simplicity.
Reliability.
Economy.

The Jabiru brand of very light engines were specifically designed by aircraft designers for aircraft applications. They are manufactured to exacting aeronautical production quality standards from high quality billet materials. Components are machined using the very latest computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tools. All components are measured on highly accurate computerized measuring equipment with accuracy to 2 microns. 

Jabiru engines have been produced in Australia since 1992, with more than 6,000 in operation around the world and many in the demanding flight school environment. They incorporate simple design features, which together with realistic part prices and high times between overhaul, support low maintenance costs. Jabiru engines are currently available in two models: the 85-horsepower, 4-cylinder 2200 and the 120-horsepower, 6-cylinder 3300.
