“The Legacy 450 is the first mid-light jet with full fly-by-wire technology and side-stick flight controls, which makes it easier to fly. The digital controls produce a smoother flight, improve performance, and reduce pilot workload” said Marco Tulio Pellegrini, president & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets.
The Legacy 450 comfortably seats up to nine passengers and is the only mid-light jet featuring a 6-foot-tall cabin and a flat floor. Its cross section – 6 feet 10 inches – is the largest in the Super Light class, five inches wider than its nearest competitor.
The first Legacy 450 delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2015.
