Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation and its Aerospace Operations employees around the world congratulate Embraer for the successful maiden flight of the Phenom 100 on July 26.

The new aircraft's first flight took a little more than one and one-half hours and included several maneuvers to check flight characteristics and systems operations. The full test program, including static and fatigue tests, will follow the maiden flight in order to obtain Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) certification.
