Is This The Best Way To Welcome A New Year... Or What?
ANN has just finished the first debrief with Eclipse Aviation
offcials following an 89 minute first flight for the Pratt &
Whitney 610F powered Eclipse 500. The first production model of a
new generation of light jet aircraft, the Eclipse 500, flew to
16,800 feet and as fast as 200 knots during a "super" first lfight
that actually proceeded so well as to allow for the expansion of a
number of flight test objectives.
