CNNPosted: July 31st, 2006 by Thomas L. Knapp
“A new light, cheap and fast jet is expected to be certified for flight Thursday. Eclipse Aviation’s E500 will be the first ‘very light jet,’ or VLJ, to receive a provisional certification by the Federal Aviation Administration. Thousands more are expected to take wing over the next decade. The announcement, at the annual AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is one of the biggest things to happen to general aviation in years.” (07/30/06)
