The Embraer Phenom 300 has established itself as a leading light business jet, maintaining its position as the best-selling model in its category for over a decade. Since its introduction in 2009, and with nearly 800 units delivered, it has become the most flown private jet in the United States, surpassing the Cessna Citation Excel according to Bloomberg's analysis.
Initially launched as an upgraded version of the Phenom 100, the Phenom 300 was introduced with a new design that included significant changes. These enhancements comprise new engines (Pratt & Whitney Canada PW525E), spoilers, winglets, and a movable horizontal stabilizer. The cabin size was also increased to accommodate up to ten passengers, although six to eight is more common.
"The luxury lifestyle publication Robb Report summarizes this well in its analysis of the aircraft, saying: 'It’s easy to see why the Phenom 300 is experiencing a surge in popularity. The mid-size jet may be smaller than the Citation Excel—it only has room for nine passengers instead of 10—but it burns less fuel, has better speed and range and, perhaps most importantly of all, costs one-third less.'"
