Embraer celebrates 300th Phenom 300 delivery

Melbourne, Florida – Embraer Executives Jets celebrated the delivery of the 300th Phenom 300 business jet. The commemorative aircraft was accepted by an undisclosed U.S. customer at Embraer’s facility in Melbourne, Florida, on Oct. 15, 2015. The Phenom 300 has been the most-delivered business jet in the world for two consecutive years (2013 and 2014).

 

In six years of operation, the Phenom 300 fleet has reached a 57% market share in the light-jet category. The aircraft is in operation in 28 countries and has accumulated 250,000+ flight hours. 

 

The Phenom 300 performs among the top light jets, with a high speed cruise of 453kts and a six-occupant range of 1,971nm (3,650km) with NBAA IFR reserves. This range allows nonstop flights from Miami to Telluride, or Los Angeles to Orlando. The aircraft is capable of flying at 45,000ft (13,716m), powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines with 3,200 lb of thrust each. 

 

The Phenom 300 offers a spacious cabin, designed in partnership with BMW Designworks USA, and large baggage compartment. Large windows deliver natural lighting in the cabin as well as in the lavatory in the back of the aircraft. The comfort of the seats, with recline and full-movement capability, is enhanced by the 6,600ft. maximum cabin altitude pressurization. The Phenom 300 features distinct temperature zones for pilots and passengers, a wardrobe and refreshment center, voice and data communications options, and an entertainment system.

 

The cockpit enables single-pilot operation and offers the advanced Prodigy Touch Flight Deck. It has features found in higher-class aircraft, including single-point refueling, an externally serviced lavatory, and an air stair.
