Eclipse Concept Jet, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007

[hotelgulf718]

Love this concept....Hope it goes straight to the assembly line from the concept prototype rolled out in this video.

[BigJonBone]

I think its a weird looking plane.

[richardmerkle]

Thats the eclipse 400

[cff121]

ALL ALUMINUM???????? no, the fuselage and epennage for that ECJ are all composite!

[tribexa]

looks like they paid a jet design company, just like the car makers pay a car design company and thats why it all looks the same. Nobody has imagination anymore.

[RodMafud]

Swift Engineering was the Design Bureu hired for the job

[zeekwolfe]

Two hundred days to build and fly this jet and I'll bet they kept the costs within bounds. If the Navy tried to build this plane it would take five years and fifty billion dollars...not counting bribes to members of Congress and cost overruns.

[tardifnk]

looks like they could use a little more work on door closing efforts (@1:20)! :)

[boeingt]

i hope this thing enters production. looks realy cool

[Aaron1701NX]

I wonder how a tail like that would have worked on a large trijet like the MD-11 or L-1011

[jessel234]

"the jet"by cirrus looks like a bigger version of this same basic design

[leangreen01]

I was at this event. Vern said he had to pee so he dumped it out the cockpit window and it spilled on the wing. When he got to 35k feet the pee it turns out, was on the wing and froze. So they were going to have to re-do this flight for engineering analysis because the flight characteristics were altered.

[laleeloolelol]

if I were rich enough, I would own one TODAY!

[rushcruiser]

engine are supposed to beneath the wings or at the back, but not on the tail :p

[jessiska0222]

yes, but it's a pratt engine...that makes all the difference:)

[LandWarriorSoldier]

Learning to fly this would be a breeze if you know how to fly a plane

[Bill1275w]

I hate that piper's jet has such an archaic and unimaginative exterior.

[Bill1275w]

I love the single engine jets coming out. I am a caravan pilot and i hope this means i can move up to a jet withouth thousands of multi engine hours.

[cyprixx]

Yeah, but it won't have the payload of a Caravan.

[Bill1275w]

True bro. I fly for a ups feeder now. Can't carry many big boxes and crates in that little jet. I'll have to go to an air taxi op.

[crewe99]

I don't disagree with the eclipse concept jet ... however there are a lot of people out there who will see my point .. (I hope)

[Pootangpie69]

I'm Not going to waste My Money on Either.... I'm going to Spend it wisely and buy A TBM 850...and live a happy life knowing i'll never be disappointed.

[Ardrex]

No question TBM 850 is a fine plane. However it's also complex and more than 1 million more. Unless you need 6 seats, this nifty little jet makes alot of sense.

[Pootangpie69]

Eclipse Is so poorly Built From things I've Read Better off With Epic Dynasty Better built.

[helosparky]

i would like to know were youve read those thins... the eclipse is not a poorly built aircraft... yes it has had some hiccups, but not unlike any other true startup aircraft company. But you go ahead and waste your money on an Epic with all of its antiquated avionics and designs... Ill stick with eclipse

[kennellyb]

The Eclipse Concept Jet is actually composite, in concept form.

[kclm7]

Awesome! My dad has already put down a deposit on his and he's in line. He's in the audience in this video.

[redneckwill077]

this would be a great aircraft for traveling buis. man who uses commercial air travel and you can get into small town airport

[ruggaber2001]

Check this out aircraft fans.

[BeechSundowner]

Nice!

[aviatortrevor]

i don't like the throttle wheel they have. it's interesting, but i'd hate to fly like that.

[RXTRUX1]

Surprised it's made of aluminum, maybe production would be monolithic composit.

[RRFLYER]

instead of wasting money/time designing a new jet maybe they should figure out how to make the one they have "certified" fully operational.

[edtreo601]

Big fan of Eclipse Aviation,

Goal for my upcoming Midlife crisis, OWN A VLJ!!!!

(Just have to find how and statr working on it).

I am open to all positive suggestion

Ed.

[Bill1275w]

Well if you need a professional to fly with you until you ge certified and comfortable, let me know.

[mrkandy]

i will buy one tnx for the video

[ericeng91]

you know that's concept right?

not in production or for sale

[53reprieve]

Very nice,.Good job guys
