Cessna Citation M2 vs. Embraer Phenom 100: Exterior Features Comparison

Oct 02, 2025

When it comes to entry-category jets, the Cessna Citation M2 and the Embraer Phenom 100 are two leading contenders. Their respective manufacturer’s prowess, prominence and capability play a crucial role in their identity. Aircraft Sales Representatives John Arnold and Spencer Bain take a close look at the exterior aspects of these two jets, exploring their aesthetics, design choices, and how these elements contribute to their overall performance.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Spencer Bain brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, having worked in sales roles at three aircraft manufacturers and a fractional ownership program. His six years at Embraer, appealing to those owner/pilots hesitant to purchase a “jungle jet” give him a deep understanding of the reasons the Phenom 100 is a compelling option.

John Arnold, a seasoned aviator with over 3,000+ flight hours and a commercial rating across multiple categories, along with a Citation 525 type rating, has worked extensively with the Citation line. His experience with Cessna Aircraft (now Textron Aviation) as a Citation Sales Director adds invaluable insight into the M2.
