Brazilian jet developed by Embraer continues to break sales records for 11 years in a row. Embraer's Phenom 300 is one of the safest and most economical on the market.

A Brazilian jet continues to break sales records for 11 consecutive years. This is the Phenom 300, an Embraer jet launched in 2009. Since it was launched on the market, more than 728 units have been delivered in 36 countries, according to data from General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMMA).

The Embraer jet can carry up to 10 passengers on board and was launched by the Brazilian company in 2009. The Phenom 300 is a light twin-engine plane offered in two configurations. The second aircraft is the Phenom 330E. More modern than the first, the 300E version has a different interior, as well as engines and equipment. Regardless of the model, the aircraft is controlled by just one pilot.

Unlike commercial planes, which fly at an average altitude of 12.500 meters, the Brazilian jet can reach close to 14 thousand meters above sea level, saving more fuel. As a result, the Phenom 300E is capable of going from São Paulo to Santiago, Chile, without stopping for refueling.

The buyer can adjust various interior details to their liking. The plane offers, for example, a lighting control system, retractable entertainment screen, adjustable seats and more. Embraer's Phenom 300 also stands out when it comes to safety.

Only two fatal accidents have been recorded so far and none of them occurred in Brazil, according to data from Aviation Safety Network. According to Embraer, the Phenom 300E is also the only one in its category equipped with a system that prevents runway departure, a feature that uses GPS data and sensors to calculate whether the landing is safe or not.

How much does the Brazilian Embraer jet cost?

The starting price of a Phenom 300 jet is US$12,5 million, that is, more than R$60 million in direct conversion. Currently, 68 units of the Brazilian jet from Embraer are officially registered in Brazil. Embraer's Phenom 300 has been the most sold model in the world for 11 years in a row.

More than 728 copies were sold in 36 countries, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association.

With unique technology, superior performance and unprecedented comfort, the Embraer jet can reach speeds of up to Mach 0,80, with a silent cabin. The model weighs more than 8 tons, using a TuroFan propulsion of 14.23 kN of power.

Embraer announces new factory in the country

Embraer announced in August the construction of the first flying car factory in Brazil. The project aims to revolutionize the urban air mobility industry, generating a significant advance in the way people move around large cities.

The partnership with national and international investors will guarantee the development of a new generation of electric and autonomous vehicles, aligned with sustainability trends and technological innovation.

The new factory will be installed in a cutting-edge technological hub in the Southeast region, creating an environment conducive to the development of new technologies. The plant is expected to come into operation in the next two years and will initially have the capacity to manufacture 500 flying cars per year.

With growing concern about urban mobility and the need to find sustainable solutions to congestion in large cities, flying cars appear to promise to revolutionize personal transport.

Electric and autonomous vehicles have the potential to relieve land traffic, reduce air pollution and improve the quality of life of city dwellers.
