Embraer Wins International Design Award

Embraer’s enhanced Phenom 300E with Bossa Nova cabin interior was recently named the winner of the International Yacht & Aviation Award for Private Jet Design in the small/medium jet category. The Brazilian airframer delivered the first aircraft with this cabin in August.

The Bossa Nova interior, initially introduced on Embraer’s Praetor 600 super-midsize jet, features larger windows to draw more natural light into the cabin, as well as a piano-black finish with gold trim on the tables, monuments, and side ledges. Additional features include carbon fiber accents, unique stitching, and an upper tech panel that reflects light and color like a mirror that serves as a touchscreen, providing flight information and other options to passengers.
