New Mexico based ONE Aviation announced that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has awarded type certification for the Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet.
The Eclipse can carry three or four passengers to more than thousand nautical miles.
ONE Aviation currently has two European distributors who have been anxiously awaiting this development, Aeris Aviation, located in Lane Forest, Guernsey (EGJB), and Jetlounge in Schönhagen, Germany (EDAZ) and Eelde, The Netherlands (EHGG).
Modifactions on the aircraft in order to comply with EASA regulations are minimal and can be completed in less than a day.
The Eclipse 550 can fly at altitudes up to 41,000 feet at a max cruise of 430 mph, all while consuming a mere 59 gallons of fuel per hour, making it the most efficient twin-engine jet on the planet.
The Eclipse 550 comes standard with a dual (redundant) FMS system, anti-skid brakes, a standby display unit, and new, high resolution displays with faster processing speeds that allow for the addition of safety features such as auto throttles, synthetic vision, TAS, TAWS, and more.
Built with six forward facing seats and designed to be flown single pilot, the 550 also comes with a standard 3-year Eclipse Factory Warranty.
One Aviation is also developing eight seater Kestrel K350 single-engine turboprop. One Aviation was formed by merging Eclipse Aerospace and Kestral Aircraft in 2015.
