       Jabiru J400
 
      
       
             The Jabiru J400 (4 seater)  has 
            evolved from combining the best features of the LSA, SP & UL models 
            all put together & coming up with a new clean sheet design that has 
            combined features. It comes with the standard LSA wing span with
            fuel in the wings. The longer tail boom results in more elevator 
            and empennage authority, reducing the stall speed to 45 kts and 
            increasing directional stability. The J400 was developed as a great 
            replacement to the GA alternatives i.e. Cessna 172. The aircraft had 
            it's maiden flight in Bundaberg in the 16th of March as a two seater. 
            The flight testing as a four seater has been completed with great 
            results. The Jabiru J400 will cruises at 115 knots on 20 
            litres/hour, depending on the options selected. Jabiru have increased the Maximum Take Off Weight 
            (MTOW) is now 700Kg  All of the Jabiru kitplane models have been 
            structurally tested to 8.5g
