Aero-TV Checks Out The New Eclipse 400! (Part One)

I always understood jet fuel to be cheaper then auto gas. He says $7 a gallon? Is this true? And yes, I have been living under a rock.

First Mac wasn't 512k but 128k. I was there. I owned one with all those signatures on the inside of the case. Ancient history. I use a PC now.

Cool plane though. Very nice design. Not sure if it's too small on the inside though. The Diamond D-Jet and the Cirrus The Jet are quite a bit roomier.

Roomier yes... but I think Eclipse was going for the 'jet-sports-car' model while Cirrus and Diamond were looking more at a 'jet-SUV' concept.

About a month ago I got to sit in the mockups at the factory, got a quick tour too. They have awesome interiors, I was really surprised at how roomy they are, they're about like a small car. The only thing I thought was a little strange was the power control was through a knob in place of a lever on the 400, and it had a bit of a cheesy plastic look and feel. Other than that I don't think I've ever sat in a vehicle of any kind that was more comfortable.
