Eclipse Aviation Corporation
 PROFILE
Eclipse Aviation hopes to obscure the competition with its Eclipse 500 jet. The six-passenger planes, which will not be available until the summer of 2003, are powered by two Williams International EJ22 turbofan engines. Eclipse Aviation is hoping its economical jets will become the backbone of a national air limousine service designed to offer private jet travel to passengers at fares that are competitive with conventional full-fare airline ticket prices. The company claims that the Eclipse 500 can be operated for as little as 56 cents per mile. The price of the plane itself induces a little more sticker shock -- $837,500. Investors from the IT, aerospace, and automotive industries control the company.
