Jabiru J250

The Jabiru J250 is one model in a large family of two and four seat Australian light aircraft developed as touring aircraft and provided in kit form by Jabiru Aircraft. The aircraft was also assembled and sold in the US by Jabiru USA as a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA).

Design and development
The J250 is constructed from composite materials. The 30 ft span high wing is strut-braced. The standard engine is the 120 hp Jabiru 3300 six cylinder, horizontally opposed, four stroke aircraft engine. The tricycle landing gear has optional wheel pants. The two-seat cabin features a width of 44 in. The J250 shares the same fuselage as the four-seat J450 model, the difference being that the rear seats are not installed on the J250. As a result, the baggage area in the J250 is among the largest in its class.
