==Design and development== The ELA 10 Eclipse has a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem enclosed cockpit with a bubble canopy, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants, plus a tail caster and a four-cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, four stroke {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912 ULS or turbocharged {{convert|115|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 914 engine in pusher configuration.<ref name="WDLA15"/>

The aircraft fuselage is made from composites. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of {{convert|8.50|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} and a chord of {{convert|22|cm|in|1|abbr=on}}. The aircraft has a typical empty weight of {{convert|275|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} and a gross weight of {{convert|530|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} with the Rotax 914 engine ({{convert|530|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} with the Rotax 912 ULS engine), giving a useful load of {{convert|255|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. With full fuel of {{convert|100|L}} the payload for the pilot, passengers and baggage is {{convert|183|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="WDLA15"/> <!-- ==Operational history== --> <!-- ==Variants== --> <!-- ==Aircraft on display== -->
