Expanding Their Product Offerings In Every Segment From Light
Jet to Long Range Wide Body
It's pretty well known by now that AirVenture is about more than
Sport Aviation and GA. As if to put a period on that point,
Brazilian jetmaker Embraer brought their Phenom 100 and 300
aircraft to Oshkosh. Wednesday morning, they provided an update on
their company’s expanded executive jets portfolio, consisting
of the entry level Phenom 100, the light Phenom 300, the midlight
Legacy 450, the midsize Legacy 500, the super midsize Legacy 600,
the large Legacy 650, and the ultra-large Lineage 1000 jets.
Phenom 300
President Executive Jets Ernest Edwards gave an overview of the
market for business jets and how Embraer views their position. As
the current jet fleet ages and new company needs increase; he
said they think the demand will be for 10,000 aircraft over the
next 10 years. They are seeing the demand for new aircraft ramping
up now in 2011. Their new aircraft final assembly and Customer
Delivery center in Melbourne, FL is completed and they are wrapping
up with 69 FTE growing to 200 in the next months. They have
invested $50M to complete the center. This will not be the
Headquarters for Embraer Executive Jet Division.
Embraer is also moving forward on the design and certification
of their 450/500 Legacy Long Range aircraft. They recently
completed the full assembly of the first fuselage. They have sold
200 Phenon 100, 40 Phenon 300, 190 Legacy 600/650 and 10 Lineage
1000 jets through 2010. They expect to sell 100 Phenon 100/300 and
18 Legacy jets in 2011.
Recent upgrades on the Phenon 100 include SMS/email in the
cockpit and a belted Laboratory. It was the most delivered jet in
2010 with 200 product produced and sold.
