Embraer Phenom 100E
An exceptional very light jet
The Embraer Phenom 100E is an exceptional very light jet that combines luxury, performance and efficiency. With its spacious oval-shaped cabin, powerful engines, and advanced avionics, this aircraft delivers a premier flying experience for private owners and charter clients alike. The Phenom 100E's cost-effectiveness and ability to access smaller airports make it a versatile choice for modern air travel needs.
Innovation
Key features and design
Oval Lite cabin design
A common complaint with very light jets is the cramped, claustrophobic feeling of the cabin. The Phenom 100E overcomes this with its exclusive Oval Lite design, providing the most spacious interior in its class. This cabin measures 11 feet long, 5 feet 1 inch wide, and 4 feet 11 inches tall, with plenty of head and legroom. Large windows bathe the interior in natural light, enhancing the sense of space.
The thoughtful layout accommodates up to 7 passengers. Seats are fully adjustable and swivel for easy interaction and relaxation. Optional features like a refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory ensure all passenger needs are met, even on longer journeys. With the Phenom 100E's intelligently designed cabin, the cramped confines typical of small jets are a thing of the past.
Advanced avionics suite
The Phenom 100E features the Prodigy flight deck, based on the renowned Garmin G1000 avionics suite. This state-of-the-art system offers pilots a highly intuitive and integrated interface, streamlining flight management and enhancing situational awareness. The large high-resolution displays provide crisp, easy-to-read information, reducing pilot workload.
However, the advanced capabilities of the Prodigy flight deck may require additional training for pilots transitioning from older or simpler avionics systems. The learning curve can be steeper initially as pilots familiarize themselves with the system's extensive features and customization options.
Ultimately, once mastered, the Prodigy flight deck based on the Garmin G1000 offers significant benefits to Phenom 100E pilots. The integrated avionics enhance safety, improve decision-making, and provide a more enjoyable flying experience, making the initial training investment well worth it for the long-term advantages it delivers.
Powerful and efficient engines
The Phenom 100E is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F1-E engines. Each engine delivers an impressive 1,695 pounds of thrust, enabling the jet to achieve top speeds and climb performance.
The advanced FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) system optimizes engine efficiency and simplifies operation for pilots. This translates to lower fuel consumption and reduced operating costs, making the Phenom 100E an economical choice for private jet ownership and charter.
Performance and specifications
Performance capabilities
Speed and range
The Phenom 100E cruises at 406 knots, outpacing the Citation Mustang by 65 knots. Though its 1,178 nm range is less than the Mustang’s 1,200 nm and Citation M2’s 1,550 nm, it compensates with access to shorter runways and high cruise speed, ensuring efficient travel flexibility.
Short runway performance
The Phenom 100E needs only 3,199 ft for takeoff, letting it use many regional airports inaccessible to larger jets. Its advanced wing, strong engines, and efficient aerodynamics ensure short-field performance without sacrificing speed, enhancing travel flexibility and saving passengers time.
Operating ceiling and climb rate
The Phenom 100E reaches a max altitude of 41,000 ft, flying above most weather for smoother flights. Its PW617F1-E engines allow a rapid climb to 37,000 ft in 23 minutes, saving time and ensuring efficient, comfortable travel with less turbulence than many competitors.
Luxurious cabin
Comfort and luxury
The Phenom 100E pampers passengers with a range of comfort features rarely found in very light jets. An enclosed lavatory provides convenience and privacy. The refreshment center offers ample space to store snacks and beverages for the journey.
Cabin layout
The Phenom 100E offers a spacious and comfortable cabin for a very light jet. Its exclusive OvalLite design provides a generous 5 feet 1 inch width and 4 feet 11 inch height, with seating for up to 7 passengers.
Seating options
The standard configuration features 4 fully adjustable and swiveling seats plus an optional belted lavatory seat, allowing for easy interaction and relaxation. Recent improvements include more refined seat upholstery and stitching for enhanced comfort and aesthetics.
In-flight amenities
As a compact aircraft, the Phenom 100E's amenities are necessarily limited by space constraints. The lavatory, while a welcome feature, is quite cozy. Likewise, the refreshment center, though well-appointed, cannot rival those of larger jets in terms of capacity or facilities.
Exceptional level of comfort
The ability to move about the cabin, access facilities, and enjoy refreshments en route sets this jet apart. Combined with its stylish interior design, the Phenom 100E's amenities create a travel experience that exceeds expectations for a very light jet.
Class-leading storage capacity
Many very light jets struggle to provide adequate baggage space, forcing passengers to limit what they bring on board. The Phenom 100E solves this problem with its class-leading storage capacity.
External compartment for luggages
The aircraft features a generous external compartment that can hold up to 61 cubic feet (1.73 cubic meters) of luggage. This is significantly more than direct competitors like the Citation Mustang, which offers 57 cubic feet. Passengers can comfortably bring suitcases, golf clubs, and even skis. The additional storage space means greater convenience and flexibility for both business and leisure trips, without the compromises required by other very light jets.
Costs factors
Advantages for owners and operators?
Cost-effectiveness
Efficient and versatile business tool
The Phenom 100E delivers jet performance with turboprop-like operating costs. Its fuel-efficient Pratt & Whitney PW617F1-E engines and aerodynamic design result in lower fuel consumption compared to other light jets.
This translates into significant savings for owners and operators. With variable operating costs around $900 per hour, the Phenom 100E is one of the most economical jets in its class, costing hundreds less per hour than competitors like the Citation Mustang.
The 100E's ability to access smaller airports also contributes to its cost-effectiveness. By flying directly to destinations closer to passengers, it reduces ground transport time and expenses. This flexibility, combined with low operating costs, makes the Phenom 100E an exceptionally efficient and versatile business tool.
Maintenance and support
Global support network
Maintaining a private jet can be complex and costly. Embraer understands this challenge and has built a strong global support network for Phenom 100E owners and operators.

Embraer's parts distribution system is also world-class. With strategically located distribution centers, most spare parts can be delivered within 24 hours to keep the Phenom mission-ready.
AOG (Aircraft on Ground) support teams are on standby to quickly resolve any technical issues that may arise, getting the jet back in the air as soon as possible. With Embraer's top-notch maintenance and support, Phenom 100E operators can enjoy peace of mind and maximum aircraft availability.
Resale value and market position
The popular choice
The Phenom 100E occupies a strong position in the used aircraft market. Its combination of performance, efficiency, and cabin comfort has made it a popular choice, driving demand on the secondary market.
This sustained demand translates into healthy resale values for the Phenom 100E. Owners can expect their aircraft to retain a significant portion of its original value over time, making it a wise investment.
The 100E's competitive operating economics also boost its market appeal. Low fuel consumption and maintenance costs make it attractive to cost-conscious buyers, further supporting its resale value.
