Five Aircraft Already Sold In the Region
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has granted Type Certificate
Validation for the Total Eclipse Twin-Engine Jet. Making its first
appearance at the 2011 Dubai Airport Expo and Airshow, Eclipse
Aerospace has already secured commitments and contracts for 5 Total
Eclipse aircraft to customers who will register their aircraft in
the UAE.
Eclipse has been working very closely with the UAE General Civil
Aviation Authority (GCAA) and last month received validation of the
FAA Eclipse Jet Type Certificate.
“We have enjoyed our technical co-operation between our
team of specialists and the those at the GCAA,” states Ken
Ross, President of Global Services at Eclipse Aerospace. “We
have received overwhelming support and excitement from the UAE
Aviation community.”
Eclipse Aerospace currently offers the Total Eclipse Twin-Engine
Jet configured with the all-new 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 ktas) at
altitudes up to 41,000 feet, this light jet consumes only 59
gallons of fuel an hour in cruise.
Eclipse Aerospace also offers the Eclipse 550, a new production
version of the Total Eclipse. Eclipse Aerospace announced Eclipse
550 Jet last month at the NBAA event in Las Vegas. The Eclipse 550
is scheduled for first deliveries in 2013 and will come with
state-of-the-art avionics. It will retain the same fuel-efficient
airframe and engines as the Total Eclipse.
