Design and development

The J170 was derived from the Jabiru J160, by using the J160 fuselage and the wings from the Jabiru J430 plus a bigger elevator to give it a better rate of climb at higher density altitudes. It was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules at a gross weight of 600 kg (1,323 lb). The J170 features a strut-braced high-wing with winglets, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft is made from composites. Its 9.66 m (31.7 ft) span wet wing has an area of 9.56 m2 (102.9 sq ft), a fuel capacity of 135 litres (30 imp gal; 36 US gal) and flaps. The standard engine available is the 85 hp (63 kW) Jabiru 2200 four-stroke powerplant.
