The Eclipse 550: The Eclipse 550 is the new production jet from Eclipse Aerospace, scheduled to first come off of the manufacturing lines in Albuquerque, NM in 2013. It has been upgraded with new microprocessors in the avionics systems, allowing for Autothrottles, Synthetic Vision, and Enhanced Vision to be added to the Avio platform. The avionics also now run in a dual / redundant fashion, ensuring that there will never be any downtime for Avio. Other items upgraded in the Eclipse 550: available radar altimeter, ADS-B, and an integrated iPad entertainment system.

The Total Eclipse: The Total Eclipse twin-engine jet is a factory certified, pre-owned Eclipse jet. These aircraft are low time (less than 500 hours total) and come with a standard 'tip-to-tail' factory warranty. The major benefit of the Total Eclipse is that it can be delivered, fully customized to your interior specifications and exterior striping pattern, typically within 90 days of your order.
