Embraer Legacy 500
Developed concurrently with the smaller Legacy 450, the Legacy 500 offers a six-foot-high cabin with room for up to 12 passengers - the only midsize jet with that ability - and range in excess of 3,125 nautical miles with four passengers onboard. A new electronic fly-by-wire aircraft control system delivers a smoother flight than competing aircraft, and allows maximum performance and control while also reducing the pilot workload. A completely new and modern interior design features the largest windows and cabin volume in its class, with at least four fully flat berthable seats and a vacuum toilet as standard, as well as a cabin pressurized to just 6,000 ft. above sea level. The Legacy 500 also offers takeoff distance of 4,600 ft., and can operate at Mach 0.80 from New York to Los Angeles, even against trade winds, and still arrive within NBAA IFR fuel reserves.
