Eclipse 700 (Project Canada)
The Eclipse 700, developed as Project Canada, was a proposed larger and more capable evolution of the Eclipse 550. A stretched fuselage, larger wing and different engines were intended to improve cabin space, range and airport performance. It did not reach certified production.

Overview
Program history
One Aviation initially explored a relatively modest Eclipse upgrade, then expanded the project into the 700 with Williams engines and Garmin avionics. A modified 550 tested the new wing in 2017. The 700 was a development aircraft proposal, separate from refurbishment packages for existing 500s; the former “20Twenty” wording was not an aircraft model designation.
