Embraer Executive Jets delivered the first Phenom 100 EV to an undisclosed U.S. customer last Friday, the company announced this week. The new aircraft model has been certified both in Brazil and the U.S. An evolution of the Phenom 100, which entered service in 2008, the Phenom 100EV delivers enhanced performance, with new avionics and upgraded engines. The 100 EV features the Prodigy Touch flight deck, which is standard for the Phenom 300 light jet, plus new Pratt & Whitney Canada (PW617F1-E) engines that offer more speed and better performance in hot-and-high operations.

The 100 EV can reach up to 405 knots in high-speed cruise, and can fly up to 1,178 NM. The cockpit is designed for single-pilot operation. The new flight deck, based on the Garmin G3000, has larger HD displays, split-screen capability and a new weather radar. AVweb’s editorial director Paul Bertorelli toured the airplane last year in Orlando; click here for his video report.
