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.
