The Eclipse 500 is a 6-seat light jet aircraft. Manufacturer — Eclipse Aviation. Test flight with Pratt and Whitney engines performed in 2004. The plans for commercial production were quite ambitious — 4 planes every day. However, by the end of 2006, only 1 aircraft had been delivered. In 2008, production ceased due to insufficient funding.
