Excerpt: The History of Eclipse Aviation Corporation, is the story of the largest financial failure in the history of general aviation, one that experts have predicted will have a lasting impact on the aerospace industry. The Eclipse story runs from the company's start up in 1998, through the design and production of 260 examples of the Eclipse 500 very light jet, development of the Eclipse 400 single-engined jet, to the company's downfall and dissolution in bankruptcy in 2009.
