Jabiru History
Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd is an Australian aircraft manufacturer that produces a range of kit- and ready-built civil light aircraft in Bundaberg, Queensland. The company also designs and manufactures a range of light aircraft engines.
The company was formed in 1988 by Rodney Stiff and Phil Ainsworth to manufacture affordable light aircraft in kit and certified forms.
In October 1991, their first aircraft was certified by the Australian Civil Aviation Authority
The aircraft are built largely of composite materials and are conventional high-wing monoplanes with typically tricycle undercarriage, although tail dragger versions are also available.
The wings can be removed for ease of storage or transportation.
When the original engine manufacturer in Italy stopped producing aero engines, the company started developing its own engines, and by 1995 the Jabiru 2200, a horizontally-opposed four-cylinder aircooled aviation engine, was available for delivery.
Since then the six-cylinder Jabiru 3300 and eight-cylinder Jabiru 5100 have been added to the range.
The Jabiru aircraft range has been available since 1995 as amateur-build or experimental self-build kits.
