On the outside, Embraer may look like just another bottom-line-driven international aircraft manufacturer—and the recent headlines covering its courtship breakup with Boeing regarding the joint venture involving its commercial aircraft division only seem to add to this image.
Embraer’s Phenom 300E Full of Bossa Nova Style
The Brazilian OEM celebrated its golden anniversary in 2020 by giving its popular business jet some impressive enhancements.
Key Takeaways:
- The updated Embraer Phenom 300E features enhanced performance, including a higher maximum operational speed of M0.80 (464 ktas) and an extended range of 2,010 nm, powered by new Pratt & Whitney 535E1 engines.
- Its flight deck received significant avionics upgrades to the Garmin G3000, bringing faster boot times, expanded checklists, graphical weight-and-balance, ADS-B In, coupled go-arounds, and an emergency descent mode.
- A key new safety feature is the optional Runway Overrun Alert Safety System (ROASS), which provides timely and compelling audio and visual alerts (e.g., "Overrun. Go around.") to pilots based on runway length, VREF, and descent rate, actively helping to prevent runway excursions.
- The jet also offers improved pilot and passenger comfort and convenience, with 40 percent more pilot legroom, reduced cabin noise, external lavatory servicing, and single-point refueling, with a list price starting at $9.65 million.
