Embraer Switching to In-House Interior Design
Embraer is bringing the design of its Phenom 100 and 300 and Legacy jets (above) in-house and plans to offer customers an unmatched array of interior choices and high degree of personalization. The company is testing its interiors much the way NASA tests spacecraft, using a full-size cabin mockup to run passenger cabin simulations on its new Legacy 500.

Embraer is bringing interior development and modification for its full line of corporate jets in-house. That’s the word from Ernest Edwards, president of Embraer Executive Jets. The company previously contracted with BMW Designworks USA for the interior cabin design on its Phenom and Legacy jets. Embraer’s new customer center and its under-construction engineering and technical center, both at its Melbourne, Fla. campus, will be the epicenter of the new effort. “We want to bring design excellence in-house,” explained Edwards.
