Technology Enablers for the Eclipse
500
Modern turbine technology
Innovative manufacturing
technology and practices
Highly integrated avionics and systems

Modern Turbine Technology
Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F
• PW600 engine family is the leader in the
very light jet (VLJ) segment
– P&WC corporate strategy is to invest
heavily in capturing this new category
• PW610F (900 lbf) for Eclipse 500
• PW615F (1,350 lbf) for Cessna Mustang
• PW617F (1,500 lbf) for Embraer Phenom 100
• PW610F key features
– Dual-channel FADEC – total automatic
control

Total Aircraft Integration
• Total Aircraft Integration – more than just an integrated
cockpit
– Avio NG expands integration beyond the cockpit and applies it to the
entire aircraft
– Centralized control of all aircraft systems including engines, fuel,
flaps, pressurization, brake fluid levels, etc.
• Leverages the reduced costs of digital technology
– Avionics functionality comparable to modern commercial airliners
5
Benefits
• Significantly improve safety
– Reduce single-pilot workload
– Avio as a virtual co-pilot
• Take full advantage of automation while always
keeping pilot in-the-loop
– Only present useful information that the
pilot can use to make a decision.
– Designed for real world operation
• Understand the realities of how pilots will
operate the Eclipse 500

Designed for Real World Operation
• Avio NG is designed based on what
pilots actually do, not what they are
supposed to do
– Increase awareness every flight
– Reduce human error
• Performance Management
– Who does it all, every single flight?
– Who gets it right, every single flight?
