Eclipse Aviation Visit, May 2002



On 17 May 2002, John Fulton and I paid a visit to Eclipse Aviation, to see their Eclipse 500 mockups and to tour the factory. We were guided by Brigid Wainwright, Manager of Customer Relations. These photos all come from their show hangar, which contains a full-size mockup, a cabin and cockpit mockup, the Williams EJ22 engine, and various other exhibits. These exhibits are typically what they take to trade shows. No photos were allowed in the factory area.

Pilot's PFD and stowed control keyboard.  Most functions on the PFD are controlled via soft keys and knobs.

The cockpit keyboard will be used to control the FMS and MFD.  Production version will have some modified mounting, allowing it to be stowed or pulled out for use; current mockup  position is awkward.
