Embraer Phenom 100

The Embraer Phenom 100, designated EMB-500, is a very light business jet designed and built by Embraer. It was announced in November 2005 after the company's board approved very light and light jets in April of that year, first flew on 26 July 2007 and received its type certificate in December 2008, the same month the first aircraft was delivered. Two rear-mounted Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600 turbofan engines power it, and it carries four to seven passengers over a range of 1,178 nautical miles with four occupants. Embraer chose a Garmin G1000 flight deck and explored using the jet as an air taxi. The Phenom 100 was later stretched into the larger Phenom 300.
