Embraer — Private Jet
Explore the Phenom 300E's range on the map →The Embraer Phenom 300E can fly up to 2,010 nautical miles (3,723 km) as a ferry flight with no payload. With a full load of passengers and cargo, the range drops to approximately 1,600 nm (2,963 km). At its cruise speed of 408 kt, that's about 4h 56m of non-stop flying at ferry weight, or 3h 55m fully loaded.
The Phenom 300E is the best-selling light business jet in the world - a title it has held for over a decade by combining the range that makes it genuinely useful (2,010 nautical miles, enough for coast-to-coast hops with favorable winds) with the cabin and performance that justify its price tag. Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines push it to Mach 0.80, making it the fastest single-pilot certifiable jet in its class - a relevant detail because single-pilot operation dramatically reduces operating costs for owners who want to fly themselves.
The Phenom 300E finds its market in the gap between turboprops (cheaper but slower and more limited) and midsize jets (capable but significantly more expensive). A corporate owner using the aircraft for three-hour domestic business trips - Chicago to Atlanta, Boston to Miami, Dallas to Denver - finds that the Phenom 300E covers these missions efficiently without the overhead of a larger aircraft's higher fuel consumption, hangar costs, and maintenance burden. The single-pilot certification means the owner can fly it themselves without a second crew member, a meaningful cost reduction for frequent short missions.
Embraer positions the 300E as the entry point to a family that grows through the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 for operators whose missions eventually require more range or capacity. This upgrade path matters commercially: an owner who started with a Phenom 300E and grew their travel needs over time is likely to become an Embraer customer again rather than cross-shopping Cessna or Gulfstream for the next purchase.
