Embraer successfully performed the wing-fuselage mating and installation of the engines of the first Phenom 300 executive jet last week at its Gavião Peixoto plant. In addition, the first electrical power-on test was successfully completed on Tuesday, March 4.
Big news for Embraer as it aims to complete a mid-year 2008 first flight of the Phenom 300. The beauty is in the light jet category, capable of carrying 8-9 passengers with a range of 1,800 nautical miles. Estimated to cost a cool $6.65 million for first production delivery in 2009. In case you were curious, the P-300 will be powered by two of P&WC's PW535E model engine.
Not quite the pocket rocket like its little sibling, the Phemon 100, but it's still good lookin'.
