The Jabiru J430 cruises at 120 knots on about 6.5 – 7 GPH. The Jabiru J230 has similar performance, though in a 2 seat configuration. It is the same fuselage as the J430 just without the rear seating, cruises at 120 KTAS on a little less fuel than the J430.

The J430 not only looks great but has excellent flying characteristics as well. This aircraft combines a quick take off and an impressive climb rate of 1500 ft per minute (at sea level, solo), and landing at slow stall speeds this aircraft is definitely the aircraft for getting in and out of small runways without much compromise on top speeds.

The J430 has rear seats that can be molded into the fuselage or set up for quick removal, along with hard points for the three-point seat harnesses. The large rear door on the left side makes entry and exit very easy with no wing to climb on or step required. Individual fresh air vents may be added for each passenger. Visibility all round is very good adding to the pleasure of travel in this touring aircraft.
