As you may know, I was down in Brazil last week visiting Embraer’s Sao Jose dos Campos and Gaviao Peixoto facilities. We had a chance to see the company’s commercial jet production and the rapidly advancing Phenom 100 line. Embraer hopes to deliver 110 Phenoms this year and it looks like they are well on their way doing just that. We were only allowed to photograph selected portions of the assembly operations, but I hope that it gives you a glimpse into the goings on at two of the company’s biggest facilities.
