Aircraft decision brief
Where the Embraer Legacy 450 fits
Model overview
About the Embraer Legacy 450
The Legacy 450 typically seats seven passengers and offers a 2,919-nautical-mile maximum-range profile, a 6-foot cabin height and 177 cubic feet of baggage capacity. Honeywell HTF7500E engines, Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics and full fly-by-wire controls distinguish it from many midsize peers.
Embraer phased out the Legacy 450 by 2020 as the upgraded Praetor 500 took its place. The aircraft retains the same clean-sheet platform strengths and can offer compelling value for owners whose missions do not require the Praetor’s additional range and refinements.
