Eclipse Aerospace is planning to restart the production of the Eclipse 550, a new twin-engine jet model in the Eclipse jet family.
The Eclipse 550 will be powered by Pratt & Whitney PW610F turbofan engines used in the EA-500, which collectively produce 1,800lb of thrust.
The aircraft offers a cruise speed of 375kts and an IFR range of 1,125nm with a full fuel payload of 700lb.
Eclipse Aerospace is planning to enhance the production capacity of the Eclipse 550 from 50 to 100 aircraft a year with deliveries beginning in 2013.
