| Video Discription | Inside The $3 Million Eclipse 550 Private Jet 0:00 - Intro This is the Eclipse 550, an aircraft that redefines what one can expect from a very light jet. Stay with us till the end of the video because here is everything you need to know about the Eclipse 550. 1:07 - Cabin The Eclipse 550 cabin is rather compact, a feature somewhat expected in the realm of light jets. The Eclipse 550 has seating for a total of five people: four passengers and one pilot. The cabin aesthetic can be customized to suit individual tastes, with various options for leather upholstery, wood finishes, and lighting configurations. The Eclipse 550 features satellite communication options, and some units are customized with Wi-Fi capability, though this is generally an added feature. The environmental control system ensures a maximum cabin altitude of 8,000 feet when cruising at its top altitude of 41,000 feet or 12,500 meters. At a cruising speed, the noise level inside the cabin is generally around 72 decibels, comparable to or slightly quieter than other light jets. The aircraft features an internal baggage capacity of 16 cubic feet or 453 liters, which is surprisingly ample for such a compact cabin, and can transport up to 120 pounds or 55 kilograms. 4:06 - Cockpit The flight deck represents the pinnacle of avionics integration for this VLJ, and the IS&S avionics system is now a mature product that keeps getting better. Unlike many larger jets, the Eclipse 550 is the perfect size for reaching out and touching a screen. The two IS&S standby display units may look like simple displays, but they are truly standalone units independent of the PFDs and the even larger central MFD. The sidestick flight controls open up the front office space and provide an unobstructed view of the panel. The 550 has just a tidy console for the power levers, flaps lever, parking-brake handle, and rudder trim. There is hardly any need for a keyboard; the IS&S avionics are controllable via soft keys, knobs, and buttons, but for those who insist on keying in data, keyboards pop out of a little tray just under each PFD. There is even a little cursor control device on the keyboard, but this device’s functions are also available via the concentric knob on the bezel. A unique feature from IS&S is the expanding label on the displays. Select an item such as the heading or airspeed bug, then turn the knob to change the setting and the bug enlarges to make it easy to see and obvious what changes are being made. 8:08 - Anti-skid brake system Now, let’s talk about the anti-skid brake system. The anti-skid brake system switches on when the gear is down, although the pilot can turn the system off. The system consists of anti-skid controllers mounted in the wing root, an anti-skid computer, brake-control module and wheel speed transducers on the wheels. 9:03 - Autothrottles Now, let’s talk about the autothrottles. The thrust levers are driven by servos in the throttle quadrant and physically move along with autothrottle commands. Any movement of the thrust levers by the pilot results in either the autothrottles shutting off, or the levers returning to the commanded setting if the pilot lets them go after moving them for fewer than five seconds. 11:30 - Engine, Performance Specs, and Flying Experience Now, let’s talk about the engine, performance specifications, and how it flies. The Eclipse 550 is powered by 2 Pratt & Whitney PW610F engines with a TBO of 3,500 hours, each producing 900 pounds of thrust at sea level. The aircraft requires 2,433 feet or 742 meters of runway to take off at sea level on a standard day. The engines allow a maximum rate of climb per minute of 2,640 feet or 805 meters, and a maximum cruising altitude of 41,000 feet or 12,500 meters. The plane has a maximum cruise speed of 375 knots, with an average hourly fuel burn of 55 gallons or 210 liters. The jet has a maximum range of 1,125 nautical miles, which is 1,300 miles or 2,100 kilometers, and a minimum landing distance of 2,790 feet or 850 meters, with a maximum takeoff weight of 6,000 pounds or 2,700 kilograms, and a full-fuel payload of 614 lbs or 278 kg. 12:46 - Purchase and Charter Price The base Eclipse 550 purchase price is $3 million before options, and the Eclipse 550 charter price is estimated at $2,500 to $4,000 per hour. Naturally, prices will vary depending on availability, fuel prices, ground fees, and more. 13:05 - Operating Cost While the annual fixed Eclipse 550 cost is roughly $250,000 to $400,000, the average hourly Eclipse 550 operating cost is estimated at $1,000 to $1,500. 13:16 - Outro Aviation Base is your favorite source for your daily dose of aviation videos: private jet reviews, as well as private jet interior, both cabin, and cockpit, along with turboprops, commercial planes, and helicopters.
