 Luxury Aircraft: Eclipse Aviation's Eclipse 500 is perhaps the most
technologically advanced very light jet ever
manufactured in the annals of aviation history. The
firm's achievements in aviation have garnered
worldwide attention and landed the Eclipse Aviation
Corporation the highly coveted 2005 Robert J. Collier
Trophy, which is administered by the National
Aeronautic Association (NAA). Past recipients of the
trophy include Orville Wright, Howard Hughes, Chuck
Yeager, and the crew of Apollo 11 just to name a few
of its illustrious winners over the past 95 years.
The incredible Eclipse 500 can carry up to six
passengers and has a maximum speed of 375 knots and an
astonishing range of 1,280 nautical
miles .
The plane's elevation ceiling is a remarkable 41,000 feet, and it has access to over
10,000 U.S. airports. Priced at approximately $1.3
million, the Eclipse 500 is the least expensive
twin-turbofan business jet in the world. It is
Eclipse Aviation's founder, president and CEO Vern
Raburn's goal to utilize the newfound technology, mass
produce the Eclipse 500, and pass on the considerably
lower maintenance and reparability costs to its
owners.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is an investor in the
firm. The Eclipse 500 is available in the second
quarter of 2006. The plain truth about this plane is
that it is remarkable. It is a rare opportunity when
you can drool and learn simultaneously. Elevate your
