The Jabiru 2200 is a lightweight naturally aspirated, pushrod four-stroke, flat four, air-cooled aircraft engine produced by Jabiru Aircraft. ==Design and development== 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. In the European market, this Jabiru engine competes with the Rotax 912, another flat four 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. 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. A variant of this engine is the flat-six Jabiru 3300. In November 2014 the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority proposed restricting all Jabiru-powered aircraft to day-visual flight rules only, without passengers or solo students and within gliding distance of a safe place to land due to the engine line's safety record. Both the manufacturer and Recreational Aviation Australia opposed the restrictions as unnecessary and unwarranted. The final rule adopted somewhat softened the restrictions, allowing the carriage of passengers and students, but requiring them to sign an acknowledgement of risk before flying and restricting equipped aircraft to day VFR flight and within gliding distance of a safe place to land. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jabiru 2200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
