The Jabiru J160 is an Australian ultralight trainer, designed and produced by Jabiru Aircraft of Bundaberg, Queensland. Certified in the Australian primary aircraft category, the aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

Design and development

The J160 features a strut-braced high-wing, an enclosed cabin with two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration accessed by doors, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft is made from composite materials. Its 8.12 m (26.6 ft) span wing has an area of 8.04 m2 (86.5 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard engine available is the 80 hp (60 kW) Jabiru 2200 four-stroke powerplant.

The design was developed into the Jabiru J170, by adding the wing from the Jabiru J430, for the light-sport aircraft category.
