Eclipse 500 Charter
The Eclipse 500 and its upgraded variant, the 550, are pivotal models in the very light jet (VLJ) category introduced by Eclipse Aerospace. The Eclipse 500 debuted in the early 2000s, with the 550 following as an enhanced version, both recognized for their efficiency and advanced technology in personal and business aviation. These jets are designed to be cost-effective, boasting cruising speeds up to 370 knots and a range of around 1,125 nautical miles.
An intriguing feature of these models is their utilization of the revolutionary PhostrEx fire suppression system, which is not only lighter than traditional halon gas systems but also less harmful to the environment. This innovation aligns with the contemporary emphasis on eco-friendly aviation solutions.
