History and specifications of the Eclipse Aerospace
With the construction of the machine smaller runways and airfields should be approached. With a required runway length of 715 meters and a runway length of 686 meters, the machine is a novelty. This was intended to increase the distribution and application possibilities. On November 21, 2008, Eclipse Aerospace received European EASA approval. After the bankruptcy of the company Eclipse Aviation, production ceased. In 2010, the successor company Silkorsky Aircraft resumed production, but in a modified form. Thus, the Eclipse 550 was born. From 2013, the production of this was resumed. The Eclipse Aerospace is called Very Light Jet. The manufacturer says until today that the machine was created a new class of aircraft. With the ease and affordability of the price, the producers hoped to develop a new aviation market. The Eclipse is powered by two PW610F turbines. With space for up to four passengers, the machine can be optionally equipped with a toilet, a Bordbar, or a sixth seat. In 2008, the Eclipse was awarded the lowest two-jet jet. In addition, it benefits from the, at the time, lowest fuel consumption. The span of the aircraft is 11.6 meters, the length is 12.2 meters and the height is 3.4 meters. On a long haul, the cruising speed is 528 kilometers per hour, with the maximum cruising speed at 685 kilometers per hour. The maximal service ceiling is at 12,496 meters and the range of the Eclipse Aerospace is 2,408 kilometers, plus an additional 45 minutes of reserve tank.
