Embraer is displaying its new Phenom 100EX along with the Phenom 300E and Praetor 500 and 600 business jets at this year’s NBAA-BACE. All four aircraft flew into Las Vegas’ Henderson Executive Airport on a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), emphasizing the company’s commitment to low-emission technologies, which also include electric, hybrid-electric, and hydrogen propulsion.

Embraer said its commitment to sustainability includes employing more efficient manufacturing such as the fundamentals and concepts of the Toyota Production System (TPS), currently employed on the wings of the company’s line of commercial E-Jets. TPS reduced the wing production manufacturing cycle by 50 percent including a 17 percent reduction in manufacturing time and a 20 percent overall efficiency gain.
