The Ultimate Tourer

Flying over tiger country? The J432 adds the extra dimension of twin engine performance and safety on the established handling and performance of the 230/430 airframe. Four seats and oodles of power makes this a “go anywhere” tourer.

Ample endurance and payload at 125kts cruise, means that nowhere is out of reach. While you will enjoy the challenge of “twin” flying, you can be comfortable that the J432 retains the famous Jabiru handling characteristics and is a joy to fly.

With a panel full of Dynon kit, the J432 may well be the simplest twin ever made. It is the ultimate recreational tourer.
