Eclipse certifies new fire extinguisher system

Eclipse Aerospace announced it has earned FAA certification of a new canister for the PhostrEx fire suppression system used in the company’s EA500 twinjet. The canister stores the fire suppressant gas at a lower pressure. This eliminates the leakage problems associated with the Eclipse’s earlier fire bottles.

“The environmentally friendly PhostrEx system is nothing short of remarkable,” said Mason Holland, CEO and chairman of Eclipse Aerospace. “With its low weight, low cost, and maintenance-free design, PhostrEx will quickly become the Halon alternative of choice not only for aviation but for many other industry applications.”

PhostrEx was approved as a replacement for Halon by the Environmental Protection Agency. It’s the only fire suppressant that meets the ecological standards of the Montreal Protocol, according to Eclipse. The company also says that one Eclipse engine can be protected with an entire PhostrEx system weighing as little as 0.7 pounds. The system is designed to be maintenance-free for eight years, at which time owners replace the canisters. The new canisters are expected to be available for purchase beginning in August 2011.

Lycoming's 233 Makes Its LSA Debut!!!

In the US Light Sport Aircraft marketplace, how does a manufacturer differentiate an airplane from more than 100 competing models? Given the market dominance of the high-revving Rotax 900-series four-strokes in LSA, one sure way to stand out from the crowd is to build your plane with an air-cooled, direct-drive, traditional aircraft engine.

Every Life Is An Adventure -- But, Some More Than Others...

The story of Michael Combs starts out like many others.

"When I was a kid, I had always wanted to fly. I remember looking at clouds and other airplanes, and thinking that someday I would be there. Unfortunately, and so many other people can relate to this, I put it off. 'It's too expensive. I don't have a pilot's license. I don't have an airplane,' and on and on and on it would go.

As LSA Slowly Integrates Itself Into The Flight Training Biz, The SkyCatcher Stands Ready

I don't have to tell you that the entire aviation biz has seen better days and if you've been reading ANN, of late, you know that we're bound and determined to craft a new future for the aviation world. While aviation has its share of promising and not-so-promising aspects to consider, we still believe that the LSA program has much to offer... though it has been poorly managed and incompetently led from the get-go... and worse than that, we're hearing deeply disturbing reports that the FAA may not be willing to leave well-enough alone.
