Fly-By-Wire Precision in a Midsize Jet

The Embraer Legacy 450, introduced in 2015, was a revolutionary entry into the midsize market, bringing full Fly-By-Wire (FBW) technology—previously reserved for large-cabin jets—to a smaller airframe. It was designed from a clean sheet to offer a level of flight smoothness and pilot protection that was unmatched in its class. It serves as the high-tech sibling to the Phenom series, offering a significantly larger, flat-floor cabin and enhanced performance.

Why the Legacy 450 Wins on Tech

The Legacy 450 wins because it is the most technologically advanced jet in its category. The fly-by-wire system not only makes the flight smoother for passengers by automatically compensating for turbulence, but it also allows for a sidestick-controlled cockpit that is exceptionally spacious. The "winning" cabin feature is the 6-foot stand-up height and the flat floor, which creates a "big-jet" feel in a midsize package. It is the choice for the traveler who values cutting-edge safety and a modern, airy interior.

Innovation and Midsize Luxury

The Embraer Legacy 450 stands as a high-tech masterpiece, blending a spacious flat-floor cabin with advanced fly-by-wire agility. It accommodates up to nine passengers in a cabin that features large windows and a best-in-class refreshment center. Powered by two Honeywell HTF7500E engines, the Legacy 450 cruises at Mach 0.83 with a range of 2,904 nautical miles. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite features four high-resolution displays and synthetic vision, providing pilots with the ultimate in situational awareness and mission flexibility.
