We’ll discuss it’s technologically advanced specifications, its total range worldwide, how Embraer teamed up with another winning brand, and how to start the process of chartering your own flight.

Embraer Phenom 300 Specifications

Let’s start off by describing the specifications of the Phenom 300. This light jet was developed by the Brazilian company Embraer. It’s been a best-selling jet for nearly a decade.

Embraer engineers have continued to make it more comfortable, more technologically advanced, and faster.

The Phenom 300 features a PW535E1 engine, an engine thrust of 3,478 pounds of force or lbf, and a Prodigy Touch Flight Deck. The jet carries up to 10 passengers across a 17-foot cabin and a total baggage capacity of 84 cubic feet.

Overall, the jet is 51 feet long and 16 feet tall. Its total wingspan is 52 fee. One pilot is able to successfully operate this jet and it comes equipped with a runway overrun awareness and alerting system.

Embraer has an active fleet of 564 jets worldwide (the Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E). The Phenom 300E, an updated version of the original that came out in 2017, has an average cost of $9.45 million but most customers end up paying $10 million.

And, most importantly, the Phenom 300 comes with all of the amenities expected in a business jet. Buyers can customize cabin features by selecting comfortable leather seats, touch screens, and a galley.

What’s the Phenom 300 Range?

While it’s clear you’ll be flying on a Phenom 300 in style, how fast does it actually go and what’s the top range?

The Embraer Phenom 300 can carry six people nearly 2,000 nautical miles with fuel reserves. That amount will obviously vary depending on whether there are more or fewer people aboard, plus baggage and crew.

Wondering how fast it can go? The Phenom 300 top speed is 453 knots or 521 miles per hour. It very much rivals other commuter jets by reaching a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet.

This jet is regularly included on lists of the best light jets with the longest ranges. According to the aviation industry, light jets are typically under a maximum take-off weight of 20,000 pounds.  The maximum take-off weight of the Phenom 300 is 18,387 pounds.

It’s also important to note that there is a very light jet category as well. Some jets are even smaller and can go further on the same fuel.

The Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E jets outperform similarly sized jets like the Cessna Citation CJ4, Nextant Aerospace 400XTi, or the Beechcraft Beechjet 400A (each described with seven seats).

Embraer Teamed up With Porsche

Do you love cars as much as jets? Embraer recently teamed up with Porsche to offer a matching deal on a luxury sports car and jet.

The initiative is called Duet based on a partnership between the two sportiest and successful brands in transportation. The fact is nothing will be cooler than stepping off your Phenom 300 and into a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Running on a 3.745-liter engine and providing 478 kw, this new model has an impressive two-tone color. The top is finished in Platinum Silver Metallic and the bottom a Jet Grey Metallic. The coupe is also full of nods to aviation design and borrows from the cockpit.

Driving a new Porsche 911 Turbo S is like being on the flight deck of a Phenom 300. Besides the black and chalk leather color scheme, the steering wheel matches the jet’s yoke. Customers get what they pay for. The vehicle’s interior is completely hand-crafted.

The Duet partnership is limited edition and a specific logo was even designed for both jet and car. It’s the perfect purchase for someone who appreciates style, quality, and owning the best of the best.
