Eclipse 500 Private Jet from Eclipse Aviation
The Eclipse 500 private jet from Eclipse Aviation.
Eclipse Aviation is in the business of designing, certifying, and producing modern, affordable jet aircraft that will revolutionize the transportation market.Naysayers be damned, but the Eclipse 500 promises to seriously launch the very-light jet market in 2006.
Each aircraft interior is available in Standard Edition and LX Edition. The Standard Edition is available in Diablo, Sahara or Slate styles; the LX Edition is also available in four color schemes: Diablo, Sahara, Slate and Cayenne.
At the heart of the Eclipse 500 jet is its innovative Avio avionics system (read more about it here - Avio - Total Aircraft Integration). We are particularly interested in Avio's integration with any in-flight entertainment equipment that this VLJ might come equipped with.
Adjustable sun visors, cockpit/cabin privacy curtain, three AC power outlets, coat hooks and upgraded cabin tables round out the LX Edition enhancements.
Not mentioned on the Eclipse website, but confirmed by a company representative, is the optional entertainment package. Its planned components are still under design, but a comfortable guess in light of the company's general embrace of new technology would be a standard satellite radio option. We think that XM Satellite Radio would be a likely choice in consideration of its awesome XM Weather information suite.
