Summary There are different Embraer Phenom 100 variants with varying speeds. The Embraer Phenom 300 is the most popular private jet in the US due to its small size and lower operating costs. Operating costs differ between the Embraer Phenom 100 and 300 due to fuel consumption, with Phenom 300 burning more fuel per hour.
After being awarded a type certificate in the last month of 2008, more than four hundred Embraer-100s have been produced . This very light business jet has also been stretched to form the Embraer Phenom 300 . This aircraft, which has a range of more than 1000 nautical miles, is able to transport four to seven passengers.
But what exactly is the speed of this aircraft? Let's find out. There are a few variants of the Embraer Phenom 100 - all with different speeds There are two main variants of the Embraer Phenom 100. These are the Embraer Phenom 100 and Embraer Phenom 300.
Embraer Phenom 100 The cockpit of the Embraer Phenom 100 has space for two crew, but the aircraft can be operated by a single pilot. This aircraft is 12.82 meters long and has a range of 2,182 km (1,178 NM).
The most recent Phenom 100 variant can fly over 1,300 miles. Typically, the aircraft cruises at a speed of 750 km/h. Let's take a look at a few specifications of this aircraft.
Economy Cruise 333 knots Normal Cruise 371 knots Rate of Climb 3061 ft per minute Rate of climb with one engine in operation 702 ft per minute Service Ceiling 41,000 ft Embraer Phenom 300 Last year, the Embraer Phenom 300 - the stretched version of the Phenom 100 - became the most popular private jet in the US . In a report covering the popularity of this jet, Dr. Omar Memon reported for Simple Flying why the aircraft was so popular: The Cessna Citation Excel previously held the crown for 15 consecutive years.
“Embraer’s Phenom 300 has a significant advantage over its competitors due to its smaller size and operating economics. The jet burns significantly less fuel thanks to the use of lightweight composite materials in its structure. Embraer’s Phenom 300, due to its lower acquisition cost compared to the competition, has attracted charter and fractional owners in recent times.
” Here are a few specifications of the Embraer Phenom 300: Normal range 1811 nautical miles Maximum Range 2077 nautical miles Economy cruise 383 knots Normal Cruise 430 knots Rate of climb 3,335 ft per minute Rate of climb with one engine in operation 1,044 ft per minute Embraer Phenom 100 EV The Embraer Phenom 100 EV took to the skies in 2017. This aircraft has quite a few upgrades from the original Phenom 100 - the most prominent of which is a 22% greater range. According to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) : "Although the smallest of the Embraer business jets, the 100EV has a big-iron presence and capabilities.
It has a strong ramp presence, plus flight envelope protection; a large airstair door; single-point fueling; externally serviced, flushing lavatory; and Embraer’s signature ram’s-horn control yokes." The aircraft is much superior to the original Phenom 100. Some other improvements to the Phenom 100 EV include: Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of 10,582 lbs (4,810 kg).
This is nearly 1% more than the MTOW of 10,472 lbs (4,760 kg) of the Phenom 100. Take-off thrust of 1,730 lbs (7.7 kN) is 2.
5% more than the Phenom 100. Let's take a look at the specifications of the Phenom 100 EV : Length 41 ft 1 in Service Ceiling 41,000 ft Maximum Range 1,178 nautical miles Normal Cruise 405 knots Engine Model Pratt & Whitney PW617F1-E In terms of the normal cruise speed of the three aircraft, the Embraer Phenom 300 has the highest normal cruise speed, while that of the Phenom 100 is the lowest. But which of the three has the highest top speed? The maximum cruise speed of the Phenom 100 EV is 406 knots.
The maximum speed of the Phenom 100 is 390 knots, while the maximum speed of the Phenom 300 is 453 knots. Despite having a significantly higher maximum speed, the Phenom 300 doesn't necessitate a high take-off distance. While the engines used on the Phenom 100 and Phenom 100 EV are identical, the engines used on the Phenom 300 are different from the two.

The Embraer Phenom 300 burns 166 gallons of fuel per hour.
On the other hand, the Phenom 100 consumes 113 gallons of fuel per hour. So, if the Phenom is operated for an hour, the fuel cost (assuming the cost to be $7 per gallon) would amount to $800. Some other estimates of the cost of the operation of the Embraer Phenom 100 , according to Liberty Jet , are the following: Engine overhauls $50,000 per year Regular maintenance costs average about $30,000 per year.
Regular maintenance, miscellaneous crew, and handling charges of nearly $50,000 annually.
