[casper]

Eclipse Aviation Corp.'s Eclipse 500, which received provisional government certification July 27, weighs less than 10,000 pounds, seats up to six and can land at almost any general-use airfield. It flies faster than propeller planes and more efficiently than existing business jets. And at a price of $1.5 million, it costs less than half as much.
