ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., 2013-09-24 19:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. (EAI) is proud to announce that the first production
Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet will be on display at the 2013 National Business
Aviation Association Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 22-24,
2013 in booth C10844. The Eclipse 550 builds upon a proven and reliable
airframe, adding an increased range of safety and sophistication to the cockpit
and improved comfort to the cabin.
The Eclipse 550 adds as standard equipment dual WAAS (LPV) GPS receivers, XM
weather, Anti-Skid brakes, Jeppesen tall approach plates, a dual and redundant
channel FMS, and a new Independent Standby Display. Options like Synthetic
Vision and Enhanced Vision provide an unprecedented level of situational
awareness for the pilot, while Auto Throttles (an industry first in the light
jet market) reduce pilot workload. A new premium interior and an improved air
conditioning system ensure a comfortable flight. Customers are also offered the
option of choosing a custom paint scheme to further personalize their jet.
'I am very proud of the Eclipse team. Every associate has contributed greatly
to bringing this incredible aircraft back into production. This really is an
amazing accomplishment, and a first in the aviation arena,' stated Mason
Holland, Eclipse Aerospace CEO. 'In just four short years we have returned
Eclipse to being a successful aircraft manufacturing company.
'The Eclipse 550 is the most technologically advanced light jet the world has
ever seen. It has features that just don't exist in any other jet in its
category or class,' continued Holland.
Two Pratt&Whitney Canada P610F jet engines power the Eclipse 550, giving it
the ability to fly to altitudes of up to 41,000 feet at a max cruise of 430
mph, all while consuming just 59 gallons of fuel per hour, making the Eclipse
550 the most fuel-efficient twin-engine jet in production today. The Eclipse
550, designed to be flown single pilot, can be equipped with six forward facing
seats and includes a 3-year 'tip-to-tail' warranty.
