São José dos Campos, December 15, 2009 – Embraer is pleased to announce that Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Indiana, U.S., has purchased one Phenom 100 as part of the Department of Aviation Technology’s fleet replacement program. The jet was chosen after an extensive evaluation and selection process.

The Department of Aviation Technology’s current fleet is over 10 years old and is expected to be replaced by mid-2010. Purdue’s partnership with Embraer, through the acquisition of the Phenom 100 entry level jet, will allow the university’s students the distinction of graduating with an FAA jet type rating that no other program provides.
