Sao Jose dos Campos, September 24, 2007 – Embraer presented the new midsize (MSJ) and midlight (MLJ) executive jet concepts, today, during a press conference at the 60th National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Annual Meeting & Convention, in Atlanta, Ga., United States. A full-scale mock-up of the MSJ under study will be unveiled at the Company’s booth 3737, tomorrow, to demonstrate the new concepts.

The key clean-sheet design drivers of these new executive jet concepts are premium comfort, outstanding performance, and a low operating cost. A critical evaluation of the two concepts presented, and the resulting comments and suggestions, will constitute important elements to support future decisions by Embraer, regarding the possible launch of these products on the market.

While establishing a new paradigm for their respective segments, the interior of both concepts, designed by BMW Group DesignworksUSA, will provide unsurpassed comfort and style: a six-foot (1.82-meter) stand-up cabin, a flat floor, a fully-equipped galley, and an externally serviced aft lavatory. These new concepts will have best-in-class cabin space and sound proofing characteristics, as well as baggage compartment volume.

The new concepts will incorporate a modern and integrated cockpit with state-of-the-art avionics, paperless flight deck, and displays with advanced graphics capabilities.
