Embraer launches updated version with the Phenom 100EX

Embraer has launched a new and updated version of the Phenom 100 best-seller. The airframer will officially unveil the 100EX at next week’s NBAA event in Las Vegas, but already shared the news on Monday.

The 100EX retains the same dimensions as the standard 100, which has been on sale since 2008 and has won more than 400 orders. It’s inside where the changes are.

The cabin features redesigned side walls, and wider seats and offers slightly more headroom. Embraer

is using more sustainable materials. The standard capacity is for five passengers, including a new side-facing seat. If the belted lavatory is used for seating, there is space for a maximum of seven passengers.
