Finally a Jet at a reasonable price! The Eclipse 400 is a small four-seat airplane. It features a very nice interior, runs at quick speeds, and best of all, it isn’t a gas guzzler.
The plane was designed by Eclipse Aviation as a business/sport plane. The Eclipse 400 has single engine with cruising speeds of 580km /h and consumes less than 1 pound of fuel for every 1.7 km flown. The interior features controls similar to the Millennium Falcon, and seats from a Bugatti Veyron.
The plane is currently being sold for a cheap $1.35 million but so far they’ve only built one. Eclipse Aviation says you’ll have to wait till the end of 2011 when more models will be manufactured.
