BAE Systems is out and a number of new suppliers are in, according to Eclipse Aviation officials, who announced the signing of long-term contracts with six additional vendors for the avionics and digital automatic flight controls on the Eclipse 500 after reshuffling the original supplier team.

Joining Avidyne and General Dynamics on the project are a hand-picked group of suppliers that have only just begun the task of integrating systems for the sub-million-dollar airplane after Eclipse fired BAE Systems for what it described as contractual issues primarily having to do with rising prices of key aircraft components.
