Embraer Phenom 100 EV

-

The Phenom 100 EV features modified Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F1-E engines, with 1,730 pounds of thrust, reaching a 405 knots high speed cruise and up to 15% more thrust at hot-and-high airports, which equates to more range and a faster time to climb. The aircraft has a four-occupant range of 1,178 nautical miles (2,182 km), with NBAA IFR reserves. The pilot-friendly cockpit enables single-pilot operation, with situationa­l awareness enhanced by the advanced man-machine interface of the touchscree­n-controlled Prodigy Touch flight deck, based on the Garmin G3000, with larger HD displays, split screen capability and a new weather radar.

The Phenom 100 EV is the evolution of the roomiest aircraft in its class, bringing interior enhancemen­ts, such as a new floor sill, featuring a straight-line design to increase the aisle area and relocated power outlets with USB chargers. The aircraft features eleven interior design collection­s, abundant natural light from large windows, even in the private rear lavatory, a feature typically only seen in larger aircraft, which is also the case of the refreshmen­t centre, the integrated air stair and the largest baggage compartmen­t in its class.
