New jet from Eclipse Aviation

By on Mar 14, 2006 in Air Travel, Speciality Travel

Eclipse 500If you’re in the market for your own personal jet, you might want to take a look at the new Eclipse 500. It can hold six people and is economical to run thanks to its light weight.  One innovative feature  of this 375-knot jet is friction stir welding. The plane is a  steal at $1,295,000; and that  might explain why Eclipse Aviation have already had over 2,000 orders for it.

    This jet is amazing. The fuel capacity and low operational costs make it a winner. Does anyone know how long the wait list is for these? From what I understand they have about 2400 orders already.

    Thanks,

    Boyan

    Hi Boyan and thanks for stopping by at A Luxury Travel Blog!

    I know DayJet has ordered a few hundred of these planes. I think there was also a start-up called Nimbus reportedly ordering 1,000 of them.

    I’m not sure what the waiting list times are for the aircraft but I would imagine they’re lengthy due to the jet’s popularity.
