Eclipse 550 is the enhanced version of the EA-500 model twin-engine jet.
Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. is taking orders for the Eclipse 550, the new twin-engine jet model in the Eclipse Jet family.
The Eclipse 550 utilizes the same airframe and power plant as the EA-500 model, along with significant innovations in aircraft systems designed to improve overall operations, direct operating costs, technology, comfort, and performance.
The Eclipse 550's enhancements will include expanded aircraft computer systems and integrated avionics package, which will now support features such as Synthetic Vision, Enhanced Vision, dual-mode FMS, TAWS, TCAS-1, ADS-B, on-board color radar, Radar Altimeter, and iPad data entry integration.
In addition, Eclipse Aerospace will become the first in its industry to offer Auto-Throttles as an option for the Eclipse 550. The Eclipse 550 will also include performance enhancements to further improve the aircraft's fuel efficiency advantage over competitors.
Innovative Solutions & Support, provider of the EFIS portion of the Eclipse 550's integrated Avio FMS avionics package, will continue to provide engineering and design services in the development and certification of Synthetic Vision, Enhanced Vision, and integration of Auto Throttles. All of these features will be supported by a new generation of flat panel displays with enhanced graphics and robust microprocessors, all tested to the more rigorous standards normally applied to military aircraft.
The base price of the Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet is USD $2,695,000 (2011 value). Eclipse Aerospace expects to produce 50 to 100 aircraft per year with deliveries beginning in 2013.
