CPI Aerostructures Secures Life-of-Program Supply Agreement for Embraer Phenom 100EX Engine Inlets

CPI Aerostructures has been awarded a life-of-program supply agreement by Embraer to manufacture engine air inlet assemblies for the Phenom 100EX business jet[1][5]. The first assemblies were delivered in May 2026, supplementing the company’s existing Phenom 300E inlet program, which has already produced over 1,900 units[1][7]. This contract extends CPI Aero’s dual civil-defense supply chain model and reinforces ongoing commercial momentum for the entry-level jet platform[1][13]. Operators will benefit from sustained aftermarket and manufacturing activity as the Phenom 100EX continues production.
