About the Embraer Legacy 450
When Embraer launched the Legacy 450 in 2015, it brought something no rival in the midsize class offered: full fly-by-wire flight controls. Where competitors moved their control surfaces with cables and hydraulics, the 450 uses electronic signalling with active sidesticks — the same fundamental technology as a modern airliner or fighter — giving smoother handling, automatic envelope protection and reduced pilot workload. Add a flat-floor, stand-up cabin and a genuine 4,260 km range, and the 450 is a technically advanced jet wearing a midsize price. It carries 9 passengers (up to 10) at 993 km/h, with around 25 in European charter. The 450 is the clean-sheet Embraer that put airliner-grade flight control technology into a cabin-class jet.
Performance Excellence
Two crew operate the Legacy 450 across 4,260 km / 2,300 nm at up to 993 km/h (536 ktas) on Honeywell HTF7500E turbofans, with full fly-by-wire flight controls and active sidesticks — technology unique in its class. Around 25 examples serve European charter at roughly €7,200 per hour. Its case is technical advancement at a midsize price: airliner-grade flight controls, a flat-floor stand-up cabin and real range, in a clean-sheet design that outclasses the older converted airframes it competes against.
Cabin Comfort
The Legacy 450's cabin is a genuine standout in its class: 7.32 m long, 2.08 m wide, and 1.83 m tall — a full flat floor with six feet of stand-up headroom, rare in the super-midsize and almost unheard of at the price. Nine passengers spread across a club-four and a three-place divan with room to spare, served by a wet galley and a proper enclosed rear lavatory with the largest baggage access in the segment. Embraer's interior design — the same studio that styles its commercial cabins — brings a clean, contemporary aesthetic, and the low cabin altitude keeps passengers fresher on the longer legs the fly-by-wire efficiency makes routine. It is a cabin that feels a full class larger than the jet's midsize billing.
High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
