Embraer Phenom 100 Family Development & Background
The Embraer Phenom 100 entered the Very Light Jet market in the early 2000s with a goal to outperform the Cessna Citation Mustang and Eclipse 500 while offering a higher level of comfort and safety.
Introduced in 2007, the Embraer Phenom 100 was Embraer’s first very light jet (VLJ). The development was part of Embraer’s broader Executive Jets Program launched by CEO Mauricio Botelho, who sought to diversify from their production of airliners. Designed in Embraer’s facility in Sao Jose dos Campos in Brazil, the Phenom 100 introduced several innovations uncommon in light jets.
Due to Embraer’s history with creating regional airliners, the fuselage and wing are primarily metal with composite fairings, designed for over 35,000 flight cycles, giving it a far longer lifespan than most competitors. The Embraer Phenom 100 boasts the largest cabin cross-section in its class, with a flat floor and OvalLite cabin shape developed with BMW DesignworksUSA. Pilots are also provided with the easy-to-use Garmin Prodigy G1000 suite for intuitive single-pilot operations. To power the aircraft, engineers gave the Phenom 100 two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617-FE engines, optimized for low fuel burn and high reliability.
Embraer Phenom 100E
In 2013, Embraer unveiled the Phenom 100E, which introduced key refinements for the pleasure of pilots and passengers. Pilots were provided upgraded Garmin avionics, replacing the G1000 with the Garmin G3000, improving flight deck software with enhanced situational awareness tools. To improve landing performance on short runways, multi-function spoilers helped with deceleration on short runways. Noise insulation, redesigned interior lighting, and updated seating materials improved the quality for passengers.
Embraer Phenom 100EV
In 2016, Embraer introduced the Phenom 100EV (Enhanced Version), bringing major performance and technological improvements.
Embraer still kept the Garmin G3000 Prodigy Touch avionics used in the previous 100E, but added more powerful Pratt & Whitney PW617F1-E engines, boosting thrust and improving climb and cruise efficiency. This in turn improved takeoff and landing performance, and increased the cruise speed to 406 knots and range up to 1,178 nautical miles.
Embraer Phenom 100EX
Most recently, Embraer unveiled the Phenom 100EX in 2023 as the next evolution of the lineup. According to Embraer, the 100EX “reimagines excellence” in the light-jet category, offering enhanced cabin design with flush-to-wall tables, a side-facing fifth seat, belted lavatory, and the first-in-class Runway Overrun Awareness & Alerting System (ROAAS). The cockpit received upgraded Prodigy Touch avionics with advanced weather/3D volumetric scanning, hail/lightning detection and other safety enhancements. It was certified by ANAC, FAA and EASA.
