First Embraer Phenom 100EV Delivered Brazilian airframer Embraer has announced the delivery of the first Phenom 100EV. The Phenom 100EV is an upgraded model of sorts to the base-line Phenom 100 which entered service in 2008. Basically the EV model is a slight evolution offering better performance with avionics upgrades and modified engines that are more powerful.
The acclaimed Prodigy Touch flight deck, which was introduced in the market by the Phenom 300 light jet, is now featured on the entry-level Phenom 100EV. Pratt & Whitney Canada’s modified engines (PW617F1-E) offer more speed with superior performance, especially in hot-and-high operations. “The Phenom 100 set new industry standards when it arrived in 2008, raising customers’ expectations of an entry-level business jet,” said Michael Amalfitano, CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “The evolution of our first clean-sheet-design jet reflects our commitment to listen to customers and to continue to deliver revolutionary aircraft with superior value to the market.” For more information: Embraer Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
