Embraer Shows Off Complete Jet Family With New Legacys
Embraer comes to EBACE this year as it prepares to start deliveries of the new Legacy 450 and 500 models.
The front office of the Legacy 500, the company’s first fully fly-by-wire aircraft, features a Rockwell Collins Pro
Line Fusion flight deck. At the time of the first flight the company said, “It is hard to overstate the importance
of fly-by-wire techonology. Fly by wire does for business aviation what GPS has done for navigation.”

The impending service entry of Embraer’s Legacy 450s and 500s is set to complete the Brazilian manufacturer’s product portfolio–a sort of bridge of options connecting the Phenom 100 and 300 light jets with the larger Legacy 650 and Lineage 1000 models. During a pre-EBACE press visit to its São José dos Campos headquarters last month AIN found Embraer’s management in a confident mood, despite the fact that the overall fortunes of the business aviation market still seem somewhat mixed.
