Midsize, 'Midlight' Jets Slot Between Phenom, Legacy
Brazilian planemaker Embraer presented its new midsize (MSJ) and
midlight (MLJ) executive jet concepts this week at NBAA 2007. A
full-scale mock-up of the MSJ under study is on display on the show
floor.
“We are displaying the concepts of new, revolutionary
midsize and midlight executive jets at this year’s
NBAA,” said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President and
CEO. “Exhibiting a full-scale mock-up allows us to interact
with potential customers and collect valuable input for our
internal program evaluation process.”
Both jets are clean-sheet designs, offering premium
comfort, outstanding performance, and a low operating cost. A
critical evaluation of the two concepts presented, and the
resulting comments and suggestions, will constitute important
elements to support future decisions by Embraer regarding the
possible launch of these products on the market.
The interior of both concepts, designed by BMW Group
DesignworksUSA, will provide unsurpassed comfort and style: a
six-foot stand-up cabin, a flat floor, a fully-equipped galley, and
an externally serviced aft lavatory.
Embraer tells ANN both new concepts will have best-in-class
cabin space and sound proofing characteristics, as well as baggage
compartment volume.
The MSJ is being designed to have a range of 2,800 nautical
miles with eight passengers, at Mach 0.80 and NBAA IFR
reserves. The MLJ is being designed to have a range of 2,300
nautical miles with four passengers, at Long-Range Cruise (LRC) and
NBAA IFR reserves.
