The Jabiru J170 aircraft has been developed as a new trainer aircraft that is bigger all round. It has a wider cockpit, higher cabin & more leg room. Longer wings than the J160 and winglets give it more stability and a lower stall speed, as well as a shorter take off and landing. It has been designed to meet the US Sports Plane category and the Transport Canada Advanced Ultralight Standards. Other versions of the J170 are also available in several countries in Europe. Some are available as factory built arcraft. Contact your local agent for information on models which are available in your country.
