Design and development

[edit]

The Brumby was developed from the GoAir GT-1 Trainer, which was built at Bankstown Airport in Sydney during the late 1990s.[1][2]

The Brumby 600 is a low-wing monoplane of all-metal construction. It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and an enclosed cockpit for two in side-by-side configuration with a forward-sliding canopy for access; sideways-opening gull-wing doors are available as an optional kit. It can be powered by a 100 to 116 hp (75 to 87 kW) Lycoming IO-233, 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS or 120 hp (89 kW) Jabiru 3300 engine, driving a wooden two-blade propeller.[3]

A high-wing version has been developed as the Brumby 610 Evolution.
