Legacy 500 debuts at Dubai Airshow

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The Legacy 500, Embraer Executive Jets’ new midsize jet, is debuting at the Dubai Airshow Nov. 8-12, 2015. The business jet was welcomed by Marco Tulio Pellegrini, president & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets, and Claudio Camelier, vice president, Sales, Middle East & Asia Pacific. The Legacy 500 is on static display along with the Phenom 300, Legacy 650, and Lineage 1000E.

 

The Legacy 500 has a six-foot, flat-floor cabin, which is comparable to those of some aircraft in the super midsize category. Eight club seats may be berthed into four beds in a cabin altitude of 6,000ft. The in-flight entertainment system consists of a high definition video system, surround sound, multiple audio and video input options, a cabin management system, and three options for voice communications and connectivity.

 

The Legacy 500 midsize business jet offers digital flight controls, based on fly-by-wire technology, featuring side sticks. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite on four 15" high resolution LCD displays allows graphical flight planning, and has options like paperless operations capability, auto brakes, and the E2VS (Embraer Enhanced Vision System), which includes a Head Up Display (HUD) with the Enhanced Vision System (EVS).

 

The Legacy 500 is capable of flying at 45,000ft and is powered by two Honeywell HTF7500E engines. Taking off from airfields as short as 4,084ft, the Legacy 500 has a range of 3,125nm (5,788km) with four passengers, including NBAA IFR fuel reserves, which enables it to fly nonstop from Los Angeles to Honolulu, or Teterboro, New Jersey, to London.
