About the Eclipse 500

The Eclipse 500 is a very light jet (VLJ) aircraft originally produced by Eclipse Aviation. It first flew in 2002 with Williams EJ22 engines, which were later replaced by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610Fs in 2004. The aircraft received provisional FAA type certification in July 2006 and full certification in September of the same year. It has a six-seat capacity, all-metal airframe, and is powered by two turbofan engines in aft fuselage-mounted nacelles. Eclipse Aviation ceased production in 2008 due to lack of funding, but the Eclipse 550 update was announced in 2011 by Eclipse Aerospace, which later merged into One Aviation. The aircraft has undergone various modifications and refurbishment programs, including the Total Eclipse and Eclipse Special Edition programs, to enhance its performance and features.
