Development & Background
When high-profile owners — pro athletes and business leaders alike — think of a dependable light jet, the Embraer Phenom 300/300E comes to mind. It's known for everything you want in a jet: speed (Mach 0.78), long range (2,010 nm), and an exceptionally spacious cabin approaching midsize-jet standards.
Launched in 2005 and certified by the FAA and ANAC (Brazil) in December 2009, the Phenom 300 has seen over 700 aircraft delivered since inception, making it the best-selling light business jet for more than a decade.
"The Phenom 300's climb performance is unmatched for a light jet. We can reach 45,000 ft in under 25 minutes and cruise fast and efficiently."
