Brazilian Aircraft manufacturer Embraer has finished assembling its first Phenom 300 light-jet. The US$6.65 million plane expected to enter service in the second half of 2009 following a planned series of tests before its first flight. The Phenom 300 is designed for short-field takeoffs, and sports two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines, each with 3,200 pounds of thrust. The aircraft can fly at 45,000 feet, at a maximum speed of Mach 0.78 with six passengers and can accommodate up to a total of nine occupants.
The aircraft features a standard anti-skid brake-by-wire system and the Prodigy flight deck, based on Garmin`s fully-integrated avionics suite. The pilot-friendly cockpit and the docile flying qualities of the new aircraft will enable single pilot operation. The Phenom 300 has the most ample cabin space with an interior designed by BMW Group Designworks USA which includes a wardrobe or refreshment center, a private lavatory, and satellite communications.
