Phenom 300E

Launched by Embraer in 2018 the Phenom 300E is an upgraded version of the Brazilian manufacturer’s vastly popular Phenom 300. With a freshly designed interior and an upgraded avionics suite, the Phenom 300E is a revitalized version of the original model, while keeping all the performance specifications the same. The Phenom 300E is powered by Pratt & Whitney 355E1 engines. With 3,478 pounds of thrust each, these engines allow the aircraft to achieve speeds of over 500 miles per hour, ensuring any trip is relatively quick.

The Phenom 300E is the fastest and longest-ranged single-pilot jet, with a high-speed cruise of 464 knots and a non-stop range of 2,010 nautical miles (3,724 km) with NBAA IFR reserves. With superb runway and climb performance in its class, the Phenom 300E costs less to operate and maintain than its peers. The aircraft is capable of flying at 45,000 feet (13,716 meters) with a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1 engines. The Phenom 300E offers a spacious cabin with the Embraer DNA Design and its baggage compartment is among the largest in its category. The largest windows in the class deliver abundant natural lighting in the cabin as well as in the private lavatory. The comfort of the seats, with recline and full movement capability, is enhanced by the best pressurization among light jets (6,600 ft. maximum cabin altitude). The Phenom 300E features distinct temperature zones for pilots and passengers, a wardrobe and refreshment center, voice and data communications options, and an entertainment system.

The cabin of the Phenom 300E measures just under 5 feet tall, with the width ticking in just over 5 feet wide. This allows plenty of comfort for passengers. With a length of over 17 feet long, the cabin provides plenty of room for passengers to roam. The cockpit is fitted with the high-performing Garmin G3000 Prodigy Touch suite. Previous models of the Phenom 300 are outfitted with the G1000 suite, but Embraer decided to upgrade when the Phenom 300E was introduced. The Prodigy Touch suite offers the first-ever runway overrun awareness and alert system. With the Phenom 300E being single-pilot rated, this advanced system adds another layer of safety to the aircraft.

By constantly improving on the best. It’s in this spirit that the Phenom 300E received further enhancements, becoming the most successful business jet of the past decade, the best-selling light jet for 11 years running, and the fastest and longest-ranged single-pilot jet in production. Unmatched technology. Superior performance. Uncompromised comfort. As the fastest and longest-ranged single-pilot business jet in production the Phenom 300E is capable of speeds up to Mach 0.80 and features a quieter cabin than ever before. The aircraft demonstrates unmatched performance throughout the area with technologies such as Synthetic Vision System (SVS) to provide enhanced situational awareness and runway overrun awareness and alerting system (ROAAS)-the first technology of its kind to be developed and certified in business aviation. With its next-generation avionics, generous cabin space, revolutionary interior, industry-exclusive upper technology panel and the best-in-class cabin altitude that made it so popular, plus enhancements that reduce cabin noise, the most popular light jet sets the standard for all others.  Most recently, Embraer announced a new auto-throttle feature that will be available for the Phenom 300E. The optional feature is set to enhance the already single-pilot-friendly cockpit, which includes the highly advanced Prodigy Touch based on Garmin G3000, further enhancing the aircraft’s operational capabilities.

On February 21, 2024, Embraer announced that its industry-leading Phenom 300 series has maintained its status as the world's best-selling light jet for 12 consecutive years, while also attaining the best-selling twinjet for the fourth year running, according to data released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). To achieve this distinction, the company delivered 63 Phenom 300 series aircraft throughout 2023. Demonstrating Embraer’s commitment to innovation and excellence, the Phenom 300 series is the most successful business jet of the past decade, having accrued more than 730 deliveries worldwide and operating in 40 countries. With over 2 million flight hours logged, the Phenom 300 recently became the most-flown aircraft in the United States, with more than 360,000 flights in a 12-month period.

Praetor 600 

Billed by its manufacturer as the “world's most disruptive and technologically advanced super-midsize business jet” the Praetor 600 elevates the super-midsize segment to new heights via impressive standards of speed, range, and accommodations that raise the bar well beyond the reach of would-be competitors. Industry-leading technology works in harmony with thoughtful cabin design to present one of the smoothest, blissfully quiet in-flight environments available.

Modeled on the Legacy 500 and first announced at NBAA in October 2018, the Praetor 600 was certified on April 18, 2019 with Brazil's Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) and on May 20, 2019 with EASA and FAA. The deliveries of Praetor 600 super-midsize business jet was started in June 2019. Embraer claims the Praetor 600 is the world’s most disruptive and technologically advanced super-midsize business jet.  It is also one of the farthest-flying Super Midsize Jets, able to fly about 4,018 nm (7,441 km) non-stop at long-range cruise speed. It has a maximum endurance of nearly 9 hours, allowing nonstop flights between London and New York, Londan and Dubai, São Paulo and Miami, and Dubai and Hong Kong. The aircraft’s performance capabilities, including its Maximum Operating Speed of Mach 0.83 (466 knots / 863 km/h), shortens travel time to the destination.

As the significantly upgraded version of the Legacy 500, the Praetor 600 is equipped with full Fly-by-Wire controls (has two flight envelopes, normal and limit) that reduce pilot workload and provide a safer and smoother flight experience with active turbulence reduction capability. The Praetor 600's advanced safety features and redundant systems provide added reliability during critical inspection missions. The head-up display (HUD), high-end communication systems, and an advanced flight control system, ensure the highest level of precision during inspection missions.

In addition to the Praetor 600's longer range, Embraer also brings to business aviation the world's first synthetic vision guidance system (SVGS) approach capability onboard the Praetor 600. The SVGS approach capability, available in the U.S. only where satellite-based augmentation system capability is available, allows for autopilot-flown ILS approaches to 150 feet height above touchdown, with visibility as low as 1,300 feet RVR. The optional E2VS enhanced-vision system and HGS-3500 compact head-up display (HUD) by Rockwell Collins aren't required for SVGS approaches.

The Praetor 600, renowned for its exceptional performance and versatility,  amazes passengers with its inviting cabin with a 1.83 m ceiling, flat floor, and fully equipped galley, convenient restroom with wardrobe and cabin luggage storage. With seats that transform to four flat beds, the Praetor 600 is the ideal airplane for long flights, while it can also easily land on runways as short as 3,000 feet. With class-leading takeoff and landing distances, operators will have access to runways that other midsize aircraft cannot navigate.

This state-of-the-art Praetor 600 aircraft also offers an extremely smooth flight experience with active turbulence-reduction and best-in-class cabin altitude. Embraer is the only manufacturer to offer this technology in the super-midsize class. Thanks to this technology while the Praetor 600’s full fly-by-wire with side-stick controls reduces pilot workload and provides a safer, smoother flight experience, its best-in-class cabin altitude will allow passengers to feel like they are at 5,800 feet while flying at 45,000 feet. During the flight, the ultra-quiet cabin is perfect for conversation, resting, or working. 

Praetor 600 is certified to accommodate 12 passengers. With four variable cabin configurations, the Praetor is most suitable for up to eight passengers but can accommodate as many as 12 when fitted with a belted lavatory seat. 

The High-tech Praetor 600 is a fully-connected sky-high office with Viasat Ka-band Wi-Fi and Gogo AVANCE L5 onboard. The aircraft also offers an at-home experience in the skies with Touchscreen cabin controls and a Honeywell Ovation™ Select Cabin Management Suite featuring full 1080p HD video streaming and immersive audio for entertainment. A touchscreen overhead panel puts flight status information, ambient lighting and access to cabin controls directly at passengers’ fingertips
