Embraer today took the wraps off its new Praetor 500E and 600E, which feature revamped cabins with redesigned seats, slimmer overhead panels, a new cabin management system, and a better-optimized galley, marking the first evolution of the midsize-jet family since its launch in 2018. Both fly-by-wire models also get a Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS), new overhead tech panels with simplified icons and flat air gaspers, and electric window shades. Certification is expected by year’s end, with first deliveries slated for first-quarter 2029—the next available delivery slots.
Notably, the super-midsize 600E also has an option for an “industry-first” Smart Window, a 42-inch, 4K OLED touchscreen display integrated into the left-hand side panel opposite the “lounger” divan that facilitates virtual meetings and an “immersive” cinema and gaming area, as well as provides real‑time outside views via three external cameras. According to Embraer design operations v-p Jay Beever, the Smart Window turns the second cabin zone into a “virtual third zone.”
