EMBRAER PHENOM 100

The Phenom 100 has an oval fuselage with a 7.985 m³ (282 ft³) passenger cabin, a 1.47 m-high by 0.74 m-wide (4.5’x2.1′) door and 1.2’x1′ windows. Its unpressurized cargo hold is 1.56 m³ (54.9ft³).

It has capacity for four passengers in its normal configuration, but it can carry up to seven passengers with a single crew, with an optional side-facing seat and belted toilet.

In April 2005 Embraer’s board of directors approved the development of very light and light jets. On November 9, the company announced at the annual NBAA convention that the very light jet would be called the Phenom 100, and displayed a full-scale mock-up of the aircraft.

The aircraft first flew on July 26, 2007 at São José dos Campos, Brazil.  It was awarded a type certificate from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Authority on December 9, 2008. The first aircraft was delivered on December 24, 2008.

Aircraft of similar role, configuration and era are: Eclipse 500, Cessna Citation Mustang, Cessna Citation M2, Honda Jet.
