Resurgent Aviation Solutions (RAS) and Eclipse Aerospace have finalised definitive agreements for the sale of RAS to Eclipse with an effective date of 9 October 2026.
According to Cary Winter, founder and principal of the Eclipse 500 series aftermarket support provider: “Ten years ago, we started RAS at a time when the Eclipse community urgently needed support and help in maintaining its aircraft. Thanks to a very dedicated and hard-working team, we were successful in our efforts. Today, it's highly unlikely that an Eclipse 500 exists that doesn't have a RAS STC or repaired part on it.
“Over the years we have developed a mutually beneficial working relationship with Eclipse Aerospace. Today's announcement is the culmination of our joint efforts to maintain the value and economics of the aircraft. We are very aware of RAS' place in the Eclipse 500 ecosystem, and the importance of RAS products and services to our customers. We're pleased to come to agreement with Eclipse Aerospace, the one company as committed to the aircraft as we are.”
Located in Aurora, Illinois, RAS has been a key source of support for the Eclipse 500. To this end RAS has developed multiple repair processes that have allowed for faster and more cost-effective repair of LRU components, as well as manufacturing new PMA parts.
Ed Lundeen, COO for Eclipse Aerospace states: “We are pleased to have been able to construct a deal with RAS for the purchase of the business that Cary has built and nurtured over the past 10 years. We see value in acquiring certain STCs, technologies, methods and repair processes RAS developed that will allow Eclipse to provide a high level of integrated support for our Eclipse 500 owners, operators and worldwide service centres. Eclipse intends to continue operating this portion of our newly acquired business, the Part 145 repair centre and the FAA Production Approval Holder (PAH) authority for new parts under the Resurgent Aviation Solutions name and, very likely, will continue these operations in the same location presently occupied by RAS.”
