Inside Embraer Phenom 300 and 300E Super Light Business jet

In 2005, Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, announced a next-generation business aircraft to redefine the private experience. Having spent the previous many decades designing and producing a selection of commercial and military planes, the company was well equipped to come up with something special. What resulted from this journey would become the most popular light business jet, the Phenom 300. In early 2018, the revised Phenom 300E was launched. The high-profile launch had taken place at the NBAA air show in Las Vegas. Several features have been revised in the latest version of the popular jet: From the cabin, which has been made quieter and more spacious, to the cockpit, which supports an even safer flight with additional functions, to the performance, which allows higher cruising speeds. In the words of Embraer Executive Jets CEO Michael Amalfitano: «We've made our industry-leading aircraft even better, faster and safer.» According to the common business jet categorization, the Phenom 300 is classified in the light jet segment. However, due to its comparatively large cabin, high speed and range, it is also considered a more affordable rental alternative to mid-size jets such as the Citation XL.
