Oval Lite® Phenom™ 100 FINEP Innovation Award in 2007 Embraer: An Ugly Duckling Finds Its Wings Embraer engineers came up with a new fuselage design it called "double bubble" that allows plenty of head space, legroom, and luggage space, and eliminates the middle seat. More than 40 airlines provided input. That innovation has pushed Embraer ahead of archrival Bombardier of Canada and set the stage for an ambitious move into executive jets.
