8 JUN 06: LIGHT JET FROM BRAZIL

THIS is an artist's impression of the new Phenom 100 from Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer.

A mock-up of the six-seat $2.85m aircraft was shown at the annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE), held at Geneva Airport in early May.

Embraer, better known for its range of regional passenger jets, says the 100 will compete in the Very Light Jet market. First deliveries are expected to be mid-2008. It's powered by a Pratt & Whitney PW617F engine, has a range of 1160nm and a max speed of Mach 0.7.

"EBACE2006 was the strongest event in the show's six-year history," said the organisers. "There were 9743 attendees, a 27-percent increase over the previous year's final total, 292 exhibitors and 52 static aircraft." The three-day show is jointly organized by the US National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and its European counterpart, the EBAA.

The opening of EBACE featured a talk by the Eurocontrol Director for Air Traffic Management Strategies, Bo Redeborn. He explained the plan to revamp Europe's ATC system by 2020 - the so-called Single European Sky. A masterplan will be ready by 2008 and deployed from 2013.

A bright future for business aviation in Europe was predicted by Ed Bolen, of the NBAA. but he added that several issues - the environmental impact of aviation, airport and airspace access and aviation security - "will require our most diligent attention."
