Autumn 2024
Embraer has showcased its newly announced entry-level Phenom 100EX alongside the Phenom 300E, the world’s best-selling light jet for 12 consecutive years, and the Praetor 600, the most disruptive and technologically advanced super-midsize jet, at the recent Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (LABACE) 2024 in São Paulo.
Embraer continues its momentum with strong demand for its executive jets portfolio resulting in a historic backlog selling into 2026. In addition to strong sales and continued growth, the company continues ramping up sustainability efforts in order to achieve the company’s goal of zero emissions by 2040, as well as the industry’s goal of Net Zero aviation by 2050.
The Phenom 100EX is an entry-level jet that represents the epitome of comfort, operational versatility and single-pilot-friendly technology. The aircraft features impressive ramp appeal with the most complete airstair in its class, largest entrance door, and the roomiest and most accessible baggage compartment. Onboard, craftsmanship meets innovation in a cabin space where comfort is paramount with the tallest and widest cross-section in its class, combined with abundant natural light through extra-large windows. The best-in-class, high-tech interior features ergonomic seating, upper tech panels, luxurious interiors, baseline side-facing fifth seat and belted lavatory, and flush-to-the-wall tables.
The cockpit is equally considerate with further pilot legroom provided by extended seat tracking, an open-concept cockpit for easier communication with the cabin, and enhanced safety as the first in its class to offer Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS). Additional avionics improvements, as part of the Prodigy Touch, based on the Garmin 3000, include FlightStream 510, stabilised approach, predictive windshear, automatic 3D volumetric scanning with lightning and hail prediction, and more.
The aircraft is capable of flying at 41,000 feet (12,497 metres) and is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F1-E engines with 1,730 pounds of thrust each. In addition to a high-speed cruise of 406 knots and a four-occupant range of 1,178 nautical miles (2,182 km) with NBAA IFR reserves, the entry-level jet is capable of speeds up to Mach 0.70. Benefiting from the family’s reputation for high utilisation and low maintenance costs, the entry-level jet is also one of the greenest dual-engine jets on the market, culminating in a versatile aircraft built to offer the highest level of operational flexibility.
The Praetor 500 and the Praetor 600 are the most technologically advanced aircraft in their categories. The Praetor 500 surpassed certification goals, achieving an intercontinental range of 3,340 nautical miles (6,186 km) with four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves. The Praetor 500 is the farthest- and fastest-flying midsize jet, capable of true North America corner-to-corner, nonstop flights, such as Miami to Seattle or Los Angeles to New York. Its sibling, the Praetor 600, is the farthest-flying super-midsize jet in the world, capable of nonstop flights from Paris to New York or São Paulo to Miami. With four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves, the Praetor 600 has an intercontinental range of 4,018 nautical miles (7,441 km).
The interior eloquently explores every dimension of the cabins of the Praetor jets, including a six-foot-tall, flat-floor cabin, with stone flooring, and a vacuum service lavatory. The class-exclusive turbulence reduction capability and 5,800-foot cabin altitude, complemented by a whisper-silent cabin, have set the highest standards in customer experience in both the midsize and super-midsize categories. The largest baggage compartment in the class is complemented by a generous wardrobe and a full vanity in the rear private lavatory.
