The Jabiru 2200 is a lightweight naturally aspirated, pushrod four-stroke, flat four, air-cooled aircraft engine produced by Jabiru Aircraft.[1]
This conventional direct-drive engine is fitted with an alternator, silencers, vacuum pump drives and dual ignition systems as standard. The engine generates up to 85 bhp at 3,300 rpm, but since propellers typically fitted to this engine will rarely exceed 2,600 rpm, the 85 hp (63 kW) peak output is normally unobtainable. (At 2,600 rpm the Jabiru 2200 will produce less than 70 hp (52 kW)).[citation needed]
In the European market, this Jabiru engine competes with the Rotax 912, another flat flour four-stroke engine, but one which has water-cooled cylinder heads and a geared reduction drive to the propeller.
Jabiru Aircraft began as builders of small 2-seater aircraft in Bundaberg, Australia.[2] They turned to producing their own engines when supplies of their original Italian-sourced engines dried up. Jabiru engines are designed to be manufactured in small batch quantities, so the firm uses CNC machines to mill major engine parts such as cylinder blocks and heads, rather than using cast items.[3]
A variant of this engine is the flat-six Jabiru 3300.
