Legacy 450 Bizjet Stretches Its Legs
Range extended by 329 nautical miles, to 2,904 nm.

Embraer announced here at the Farnborough show that it has received EASA and U.S. FAA approval for a range extension on its Legacy 450 business jet. With minor modifications to the wing (to accommodate more fuel) and updates to fuel control units (FCUs), the twinjet can now fly 2,904 nautical miles (under standard conditions)—an increase of 329 nm from the original certified range.
