Embraer has made moves to plug gaps in its young but growing lineup of corporate aircraft, announcing at last month’s NBAA Convention two new concept jets positioned between the Phenom 300 and Legacy 600. Although the company did not officially launch the two programs, it unveiled artist’s renderings of its new midsize jet (MSJ) and midlight jet (MLJ), along with a full-size cabin mock-up of the MSJ.

“We are introducing two products between the Phenom and the Legacy 600, so that if a customer wants to upgrade from the Phenom 300, this customer can stay with our brand,” Luis Carlos Affonso, executive vice president for executive jets, told AIN.
