Aerobask Releases Phenom 300 for X-Plane

Less than a month after the announcement of the aircraft, Aerobask has released their latest bizjet for X-Plane. The Phenom 300 (EMB-505) is a Brazilian business jet manufactured by Embraer with a seating capacity of 11 people.

The Phenom is the latest endeavour from light aircraft and business jet developer Aerobask. The jet is the second in the last half-year released by the developer and comes at the time while the developer continues development on their Dassault Falcon 8X.

The developer has been quick to correct assumptions that the Phenom had negatively affected the development of the Falcon 8X. In the original announcement, Lionel “Yoyoz” Zamouth of Aerobask / Skunkcrafts assured users that the development of the aircraft had actually benefited the Falcon 8X. Zamouth explained that the development allowed the developer to reduce VRAM usage in the Falcon 8X by roughly 1GB.
