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.
