Embraer
- The Embraer Phenom 300 has surpassed the Cessna Citation Excel as the US' most popular private jet.
- According to federal data, the Phenom had about 360,000 takeoffs and landings over the past 12 months.
- The Brazilian-made plane boasts better fuel burn, speed, and range compared to the Excel.
Textron Aviation's best-selling Cessna Citation family of private jets has reigned as America's most popular for 15 years, but it just lost its top spot.
