Eclipse Launches 4 Seat Single Engine VLJ.

Since their twin engine 6 passenger Eclipse 500 is already a VLJ, should we call the Eclipse 400 a teeny-tiny jet instead?

FWIW, I noted that they showed a prototype almost a year ago, here are the pix from that prototype:



It's going to sell for $1.35 million, and Eclipse is raising the price of it's 500 by 33% to 2.15 million.

My guess is that this is being driven by two things, that the E-500 is costing more to build than they had hoped, and that there are some single engine VLJs our there, and they are attracting a lot of interest.
