Jabiru Engines

The Jabiru engines, made in Australia have proven to be reliable and reasonably priced engines for light sport aircraft.

The Xair and Xair H Aircraft are particularly well suited for the Jabiru 2200A aircraft engine. They are easy to install with the standard Xair mounts, reasonably priced, have great fuel efficiency, a 2000 hour TBO and have proven themselves quite reliable.

General Description

The Jabiru 2200cc Aircraft Engine is a 4-cylinder 4-stroke horizontally opposed air cooled engine.

At 132 pounds installed weight it is the lightest 4-cylinder, 4-stroke aircraft engine of this output manufactured in the world. It can be installed in an aircraft at the same weight as some popular 2-stroke engines.

Overall dimensions are extremely small. It's 23.46 inch width allows tractor applications with very small frontal areas. The Jabiru engine is designed for either tractor or pusher installation.

It is an ideal replacement for the Rotax 582, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke engine which powers many of the existing light aircraft. Surprisingly, it is the same weight as the Rotax 582. It is also a lightweight, smaller-package alternative to all of the VW derivative engines and the Rotax 912. It is an engine designed by aircraft designers for aircraft applications!
