I went on board the Embraer Phenom 300E and saw why this private jet is the most flown aircraft in the US

  • The Embraer Phenom 300E is the most flown aircraft in the US.
  • Plus, it’s the best-selling light jet of the past 12 years.
  • See inside the compact aircraft that has a best-in-class speed of Mach 0.80.

The most flown aircraft in the US is not only a private jet, but a light jet just 51 feet long.

I went inside an Embraer Phenom 300E at the European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition in Geneva in May, and had a look around.

It was a tight squeeze since the cabin is less than five feet tall, but this makes sense when you know the jet is designed for shorter journeys.

The $10 million plane leads the light-jet sector — being the best seller for the past 12 years. That’s largely because it’s the fastest and has the furthest range at around 2,300 miles.

Plus, it only requires one pilot to fly, reducing operational costs for customers.
