First flown in 2007, the Phenom 100 is Embraer's smallest executive business jet and has served as the entry-level model for the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer since its introduction in 2008. It remains the oldest model in its business aviation segment. The latest variant, the Phenom 100EX, was sold out of production throughout 2024 after debuting at NBAA in 2023. The Phenom 100 holds certifications from ANAC in Brazil, the FAA in the United States, and EASA in Europe.
With over 400 units delivered to date, the Phenom 100 has undergone several iterations. Initially introduced as EMB-500 in 2007, it evolved into the Phenom 100E with additional spoilers for performance enhancement. This later transformed into the Phenom 100EV, which marked a significant overhaul of the aircraft model.
The first delivery of the Phenom 100EV occurred in 2017, featuring improved Pratt & Whitney PW617F1-E engines and Garmin G3000 avionics for enhanced performance and weight savings. The final version, Phenom 100EX, introduced in 2023, included a Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS).
