As stated on the Eclipse Web site at www.eclipseaviation.com
| The Eclipse 500 very light jet (VLJ)—the category of jet we created—is loaded with capability and functionality, yet is priced less than any other competitive jet and has the lowest operating cost per mile of any jet. The Eclipse 500 has a maximum cruise speed of 370 knots, it can carry up to six occupants, and has a generous range of 1,125 nautical miles. A 41,000-foot ceiling avoids most severe weather, and this extraordinary jet gives you access to more than 10,000 airports in the U.S. So the question is never, “Where can’t you go?” but rather, “Where do you want to go?” The ingenious technology of the Eclipse 500™ translates into soul-stirring power and performance. It has been designed to give you operational efficiencies and safety (like a 69-knot stall speed, for instance), but don’t let that fool you into thinking this aircraft isn’t the experience of a lifetime to pilot. It’s all there. From a 370-knot maximum cruise speed to a 3,314-feet-per-minute two-engine rate of climb. This jet performs—even at higher altitudes and temperatures—we’re talking Telluride, Colorado (elevation: 9,078 feet) in July. And, we’ve thoughtfully designed our aircraft to be fuel efficient at low altitudes, too. The Eclipse 500™ has excellent range capability from virtually every airport in the world. The ability to takeoff in less than 2,250 feet enables you to fly to destinations not previously available in a jet aircraft. The following interactive range map allows you to see the range capability in one-hour increments from hundreds of airports, worldwide. We designed the Eclipse 500 to handle short runways, letting you get in and out of almost any airport in the United States. How? It starts with our low-weight design, low wing loading, large Fowler-type flaps and powerful PW610F turbofans. These design features result in the aircraft having excellent takeoff performance. On landing, the wing and flap design, and low weight also result in slower, safer approach speeds and short landing distances, and eliminate the need for costly thrust reversers and antiskid braking. Can you picture yourself sitting here? Commanding this jet? We’ve designed it from the cleanest sheet of paper you’ve ever seen. With pilots doing the designing. So it’s more natural and streamlined—exactly fitting for a pilot’s needs and comfort. Sidesticks free up space for the pilot, and increase visibility of the instrumentation panel. The seats and rudder pedals are adjustable. Whether you're 6’ 5” or 5’ 6”, you can be comfortable in the Eclipse 500™. |
