The entire 07 line has the most advanced passive safety systems, such as: High-absorption main landing gear, rotor brake, wheel brake with parking function and four-point belt in both seats as an option. The adjustment of the fumigation pumps can be, and must be, performed with the engine stopped. This provides quietness in the fumigation system adjustment operations with maximum safety.

2In aviation, safety comes first and ELA Aviación is very aware of this, therefore we have designed the 10-Eclipse so that pre-flight tasks can be performed in the most efficient and simple way possible. Air inlets that ensure engine cooling are easily removable, thus leaving the engine partially uncovered providing an easy access to perform inspections. The cockpit of the 10-Eclipse is formed by a carbon fiber and epoxy resin monohull, as is the empennage. When manufacturing these crucial pieces, the most state-of-the-art composite stratification techniques are used. After fabrication, pieces are baked in a post-cure room that reaches a temperature of 100ºC (212ºF), which confers an enormous mechanical resistance. The metal frame of the gyroplane, formed by the mast, engine mount and tail boom is manufactured and TIG-welded with aviation-quality steel AISI 4130. The pre-rotator, both powerful and automatic, is also “incident proof”, because it has been designed in such a way as to prevent accidental activation during flight. The landing gear is also one of the elements that has been carefully studied with the purpose of ensuring safety. Its broad battle, wheelbase and flexibility, ensure high stability when landing and taxing. The 10-Eclipse is equipped with large passive safety systems, such as internal and independent fuel tank, four-point security belts in both seats, wheel brake with parking function, a large canopy made out of aviation Plexiglas, and a lot more…

The ELA 10-Exlipse is a cross-country gyroplane, in which the aerodynamic performance of the assembly has been carefully taken into consideration to ensure a high-speed cruise with a minimal fuel consumption. Its spectacular performance results from its low aerodynamic resistance, since all elements have been shrouded to achieve cruise speeds from 90 km/h (55.9 mph) to an incredible 170 km/h (105.6 mph) of continuous cruise and a maximum never exceed speed (VNE) of 190 km/h (118 mph). Its 87-litre (22.9 gal) fuel tank offers us an endurance of up to 6 hours, with a range of more than 600 km (372.8 mi). No other gyroplane will take you so far!
