Eclipse is going up against a player - Cessna - that dominates that
segment of the market. They're going in with 2 things - a much lower
price point, and a small technical advantage. Meanwhile Cessna has a
well established name, product line, production facilities, dealers,
repair facilities, diversified product line and deep pocket corporate
parents.

Does Eclipse have the money to stay alive in a price war with Cessna?


Bill Gates is the 2nd major investor in Eclipse... One can guess who
the #1 investor is...

Who knows what his commitment level is, but if he is dedicated, money
will not be an issue.
