Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the
content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be
thought-provoking.

Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"One area that is creating very few problems, most
notable in light of the history of this component in the Eclipse
program, is the engine that replaced the hard-to-start,
hard-to-keep running, Williams FJ22… the Pratt & Whitney
PW610F. Raburn is plainly thrilled with Pratt & Whitney and the
outstanding results coming out an amazing little engine that is
meeting (and even exceeding) a number of promised operational
parameters. Raburn talks about the 610F as if it was a cherished
son or daughter, plainly pleased to not have to worry (so much)
about the viability of one of the most critical aspects of this
aircraft's design."
Source: ANN Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, in
describing one aspect of the amazing Eclipse 500 development
program that does NOT seem to be a source for future concern as the
Eclipse heads for a 1Q, '06 Type Certificate. The quote comes from Part Two
of a Seven Part Flight test article that examines the state of the
aircraft and the development program.
