Installation Of Re-Certified Combustion Engine Liners
Eclipse Aerospace proudly announced FAA approval for all Eclipse
Jets to return to a maximum certified service ceiling of 41,000
feet upon the installation of the recently recertified engine
combustion liners. Eclipse and Pratt & Whitney Canada
(P&WC) have both been strongly committed to resolving this
issue which previously resulted in carbon buildup on the static
vane on a limited number of P&WC PW610F engines.
The return to 41,000 feet is the last in a long list of
certification projects Eclipse Aerospace has successfully completed
for the Eclipse Twin-Engine Jet. "This modification will once again
provide our customers with the convenience and efficiency of flying
above most adverse weather conditions, travel at faster speeds, and
burn less fuel," said Mason Holland, Chairman and CEO of Eclipse
Aerospace. ‘What an exciting time for Eclipse and our
customers. "The return to 41,000 feet has been among the most
difficult challenges to overcome in our restart program. By
completing the combustion liner replacement project, we are
officially announcing that the commitments to our existing
customers have all been successfully met. We look forward to
continuing to provide service for our customers while advancing
innovations for the Eclipse Twin-Engine Jet."
With the full recertification program now complete, Eclipse
Aerospace indicated they will continue to focus and ramp
engineering and support efforts to return the Eclipse Twin-Engine
Jet to production. EAI continues to expand, recently announcing 75
new open positions in all phases of operations including
engineering, supply chain, quality, inspection, and IT. "Are we
announcing production restart yet? No, but I think we are sending
some strong signals to the market of our intentions, as we are on
target with all major elements of our business plan," Holland
states.
