The Embraer Legacy 450, a business jet from the Brazilian aerospace company Embraer, has garnered attention for its innovative design and performance. This mid-size jet is part of a family that includes the larger Legacy 500 and the more advanced Praetor 500 and Praetor 600.

The Legacy 450 offers a maximum range of 2,900 nautical miles and can cruise at speeds up to Mach 0.83. Its T-tail and low-wing design contribute to improved efficiency and flight performance. The aircraft's cabin can accommodate up to nine passengers, with configurations typically seating seven or eight for comfort.

Equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics, the Legacy 450 enhances pilot situational awareness while streamlining operations. The jet's short-field landing capabilities allow it to access airports with shorter runways, making it versatile for business travelers.
