Embraer Legacy 450 Jet Charter Information
Rather than take an older airframe and reinvent it, the Embraer Legacy 450 corporate jet is the result of a clean-sheet design. It entered service in 2015, making it one of the most advanced super-midsize jets available on the jet charter market today. When you ride in one, you’ll appreciate the state-of-the-art cabin amenities this aircraft provides. The Legacy 450 is the shorter sibling of the Legacy 500. When Embraer unveiled these aircraft, they became the first competitors in the super-midsize class (the Brazilian manufacturer refers to them as ‘mid-light’ jets) to offer full fly-by-wire technology. Until then, this was unheard of. These digital flight controls:
- Prevent pilots from flying beyond the jet’s operational capabilities
- Provide a smoother flight experience
- Reduce pilot workload
Unmatched Cabin Comfort
The Embraer Legacy 450 is also the first aircraft in its class to offer a true flat-floor cabin. It’s capable of carrying between seven and nine passengers (the 500 holds up to a dozen) and measures:
- 6 feet tall
- 24 feet long
- 6 feet, 10 inches wide
As with any Embraer executive jet charter, the Legacy 450 delivers uncompromising cabin comfort. The seats are remarkably versatile, with the ability to:
- Swivel
- Track laterally and forward
- Provide heating and massage
Furthermore, two of the seats are fully berthable into beds so you can sleep comfortably while flying. And whether you prefer to remain productive while flying, or you want to sit back and soak up the atmosphere, the Legacy 450 lets you do either. Its Ovation Select cabin management system provides a range of communication and entertainment options, including:
- Full HD video
- Surround sound
- Apple TV
- Wi-Fi connectivity
The Embraer Legacy 450 is also a leader in another important category: baggage capacity. It features a combination of internal (accessible inflight) and external stowage totaling 150 cubic feet. If you’re looking for a jet charter with enough space for you and your skis or golf clubs, this is it.
Fly Fast and Far
If that wasn’t enough, the Legacy 450 is also the fastest business jet in its class. Equipped with a pair of Honeywell HTF7500E turbofans, it reaches a maximum speed of 547 mph, and a high-end cruise speed of 531 mph. It also flies further than Embraer had originally hoped. With four passengers, it can fly up to 2,900 nautical miles (600 nm further than expected). This aircraft performs admirably in many other ways as well:
- Climbs to 43,000 feet in 22 minutes (2,100 ft/min)
- Achieves a maximum service ceiling of 45,000 feet
- Requires just 3,907 feet for takeoffs
- Lands in just 2,090 feet
Furthermore, the Embraer Legacy 450 maintains the lowest cabin pressure in its class (6,000 feet), which keeps passengers refreshed and relaxed while flying.
