MELBOURNE, Fla.Embraer on Tuesday unveiled the Phenom 300EV, the latest version of its Phenom 300 light executive jet, ahead of next week’s opening of the Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom.

The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer expects deliveries to begin in 2028.

The airplane is equipped with Garmin Emergency Autoland, which can automatically land the aircraft if the pilot becomes incapacitated. Embraer said the Phenom 300EV is the largest business jet equipped with the system.

The new jet has a maximum range of 2,055 nautical miles (3,806 kilometers) and 430 pounds of additional payload capacity over the previous model.

Cabin updates feature low-Earth-orbit satellite connectivity through Gogo Galileo, with Starlink connectivity planned as an aftermarket option.

Embraer said the Phenom 300EV will be supported through its global service network.

The Phenom 300 series has been the world’s best-selling light jet for 14 consecutive years, according to the company.

The Phantom 300EV is not expected at the Farnborough Airshow, opening July 24.

Embraer will, however, showcase the E195-E2, the largest member of its E2 narrow-body family, and the KC-390 Millennium tactical transport and multi-mission aircraft at the five-day event.
