Historical Facts and Model Development

The Eclipse 500 was developed by Eclipse Aviation and made its first flight in 2002. Serial production began in 2006, and a total of more than 260 aircraft of this model were produced. The main goal of the developers was to create an affordable jet with low operating costs, which was achieved through innovative technologies and materials.

After Eclipse Aviation's bankruptcy in 2008, the production rights were acquired by Eclipse Aerospace, and later by ONE Aviation. Updated versions received improved avionics, interior, and a number of technical enhancements, making the Eclipse 500 even more attractive to business aviation owners and operators.
