The technical features of the Eclipse 500 include two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines providing efficient performance with low operating costs. Its aerodynamic design and lightweight airframe contribute to its efficiency. "The friction-stir welding technique used in its construction results in a smoother, more durable structure."
With a range of 1,295 miles (2,084 km), it connects major city pairs without refueling stops. Its cabin accommodates four to six passengers comfortably despite its compact size.
One notable feature is its Avio NG avionics system designed for single-pilot operations. This integrated flight management system enhances safety through advanced automation features like autopilot and auto-throttle.
The popularity of the Eclipse 500 stemmed from several factors: affordability with a base price around $2 million at launch; economical operation due to low fuel consumption; ease of use appealing to owner-operators; versatility allowing operation from smaller airports.
Despite production delays and bankruptcy declared by Eclipse Aviation in 2008 leading to uncertainty about future prospects for this model - it remains influential within VLJ market today alongside competitors such as Cessna Citation Mustang or Embraer Phenom100 among others offering comparable features performance capabilities each bringing unique advantages their respective buyers' needs preferences.
