“Enthusiasm is really building for our Eclipse Jet. With the return of the 41,000 foot certified service ceiling, interest here at AirVenture has really been overwhelming,” stated Mason Holland, Chairman and CEO of Eclipse Aerospace.

Eclipse Aerospace will continue to deliver the limited edition Total Eclipse aircraft at a scheduled pace throughout the balance of this year. Aircraft delivery times from date of order are currently 45-60 days.

Eclipse Aerospace currently offers the Total Eclipse Twin-Engine Jet configured with the industry leading Avio Integrated Flight Management System (IFMS) and certified for flight into known icing (FIKI). The Total Eclipse Jet also comes complete with a “tip-to-tail” factory warranty, new paint, and a new interior. Traveling at speeds in excess of 430 MPH (375 knots) at altitudes up to 41,000 feet, this light jet consumes only 60 gallons of fuel an hour in cruise, making it the most fuel-efficient twin-engine jet on the planet.

“Earlier this week, we announced that Eclipse is adding 75 new staff positions in all phases of the organization. Eclipse is giving a strong signal to the aviation markets that Eclipse is building momentum and continues to accelerate our business plan,” says Holland.
