Embraer Executive Jets is increasing the range of the Legacy 450 to 2,500 nm with four passengers, which marks a 200 nm increase from its initial specification.

The Legacy 450 fuselage has also been extended to provide more cabin space. Embraer unveiled a new interior design for the Legacy 500 and Legacy 450 executive jets at NBAA and exhibited a mockup of the Legacy 450 for attendees.

“The Legacy 450 will be the best-in-class mid-light executive jet,” said Ernest Edwards, president of Embraer Executive Jets.

“We never stop listening to our customers’ input. Thanks to their invaluable feedback and our commitment to deliver distinctive business aircraft, both the Legacy 450 and the Legacy 500 will deliver an above premium travel experience to our customers,” Edwards added.

Embraer also announced the selection of Rockwell Collins’ Head-up Guidance System (HGS-3500) and EVS-3000 (Enhanced Vision System), which will become the E2VS (Embraer Enhanced Vision) option on both the Legacy 500 and Legacy 450.
