ONE Aviation has selected the Williams International FJ33-5A-12 turbofan to power the EA700 “Project Canada”. The “Canada” project was announced last year as an upgrade to the Eclipse 500/550. Relative to the EA550, the “Canada” holds more fuel in a longer wing, with 2-foot extensions on each side; more cabin volume, with a 14-inch fuselage stretch, Garmin G3000 avionics, and more power with the FJ33 engines.

An Amazing Experience Awaits The Chosen Few...

E-I-C Note: There's very little we can say yet, but there is a reason why this may be THE year to throw in with ANN to cover the extraordinary event that is OSHKOSH.

Aero Linx: The Airship Association The Airship Association believes that Lighter than Air Vehicles (LTAV) have the potential to provide viable and cost-effective aerospace platforms for a number of applications which are currently undertaken by a variety of more conventional forms of transport. LTAVs should not be considered a replacement for conventional aircraft or ships, but complementary; part of a comprehensive transport network which reduces the economic cost of transport in certain areas.

"I do believe raising important questions about sustained funding and infrastructure investment in our air transportation system is a good thing and something in which the Trump Administration should rightfully engage. To do so forces all segments of the aviation community to focus on what really is important with a hope that necessary and important initiatives will be widely embraced. However, change will only really come when the Administration and the aviation community actually work on a solution together through forums that exist to do just that!"
