Perfectly combining generation avionics, vast cabin space, revolutionary interior, industry-exclusive upper technology panel, the Phenom 300 is a favourite of pilots around the world, and is always one of our go-to private jets.Let’s take a look at the specifications:The world’s fastest twin-pilot aircraft, also claiming the longest range, the Phenom 300 combines intelligent ergonomics and extraordinary craftsmanship.The Phenom 300 is powered by a PW535E1 engine, manufactured by Pratt and Whitney. Every inch of the unparalleled cabin offers state-of-the-art technology for pure relaxation. The overall length of the plane is 15.9 m (52 ft 1 in) and it is 5.1 m (16 ft 9 in) high. The wingspan is 15.91 m (52 ft 2 in).The Pheonom 300 has a high cruising altitude speed of 533 mph and a maximum operating altitude of 45,000 ft. Boasting a flying range of 2268 miles, it can fly for just over three hours, so is ideal for shorter journeys. With a luggage capacity limit of 1096 kg (2,416 lb), the Phenom 300 can take up to 8 passengers comfortably with baggage and smaller cargo requirements. Sophisticated and luxurious, the jet has a revolutionary interior and an exclusive upper technology panel with touch controls, portable device integration and wireless audio/video streaming, optional drop-down monitors and downwash lighting. The bespoke seats are enhanced with headrests, adjustable armrests and thigh bolsters. One of the main factors for using the Phenom 300 is the safety. The Synthetic Vision System alerts pilots if the approach is too fast or too steep. The aircraft’s SurfaceWatch™ navigation system provides even more situational awareness including windshear alerting, weather radar with vertical scan, ground clutter suppression and turbulence detection. James Gregory, Head of VIP Charters, said: “The Phenom 300 is fast and attractive and it is constantly evolving. Our clients love it because of the superior comfort it provides, as well as all the enchantments, one of the favourites is the reduced cabin noise.”Smart Aviation was founded in 2005 by Managing Director Mark Hawkins, an established sports charter specialist with over 30 years’ experience in senior operational roles within the travel and aviation industry, including managing sports charters at Excel Airways.
