What a difference a letter can make. Just take the “E” model of Embraer’s successful Phenom 300. The 300 has been a popular airplane from the start. The company says that at this moment, the factory at São José dos Campos Airport in Brazil just began building the 500th copy, although the E models only joined the family in March 2018. Embraer says 19 Phenom 300Es have joined the world fleet so far, with charter operator Executive AirShare being the first commercial operator to fly both the earlier model and the new Phenom 300E. In case you’re wondering, you didn’t miss the A through D models of the 300. There weren’t any. The “E” on this Phenom 300 actually stands for “enhanced,” and it is now the only Model 300 in production.
