Embraer Executive Jets has redesigned the Legacy 450 and 500 fly-by-wire business jets, adding two new models—the Praetor 500 and 600—that improve performance to a significant degree. The Praetor 500 and 600, expected to enter service in 2019, will sit at the top of Embraer’s midsize and super-midsize offerings, but the company will still manufacture the Legacy 450 and 500 as long as there are buyers.

“We’re unleashing the Legacy 450/500 potential so customers can fully enjoy the value these disruptive products offer,” said product strategy manager Alvadi Serpa.
