The Embraer Legacy 600 represents a bold departure for Embraer, a company known for its success in the aviation industry. After making waves with the 146 jetliner, they ventured into the corporate jet market with the Legacy 600, and the results speak volumes. Certified in 1999, this remarkable aircraft continues to be manufactured to this day, with a total of 154 units produced by the end of 2008. As the Legacy series evolves, it promises cutting-edge technology. The Legacy 600 is unmatched in its class, offering outstanding performance, operational efficiency, and a spacious interior that sets new standards.

Inside the Legacy 600’s cabin, the focus is on productivity. It’s the only jet in its class to feature three distinct cabin zones, tailored for business needs. High-speed internet, Wi-Fi, a three-line phone system, and power outlets keep executives connected while on board. The cabin’s generous size, measuring 1,413 cubic feet, allows for ample standing and maneuvering room with its six-foot tall ceilings. Typically configured for 13 passengers across four standard seating arrangements, the cabin offers amenities like two 17-inch flat-screen monitors, individual DVD players, and luxurious fully-reclining seats. Twenty-two large windows and full LED lighting create an exceptionally spacious ambiance. The galley is a standout, equipped with conveniences like a cutting board, electrical outlets, and optional appliances like a refrigerator or wine chiller. Surpassing competitors, the Legacy 600 offers a substantial 240 cubic feet of flight-accessible storage.

The Legacy 600 doesn’t just impress with its cabin; its performance standards are equally exceptional. Powered by two Rolls Royce AE3007A1E high-bypass, turbofan, dual FADEC engines, each delivering 7,987 pounds of thrust, it can cover 3,250 nautical miles at Mach 0.74 with 8 passengers on board. With a high-speed cruise of 455 knots and a ceiling of 41,000 feet, these engines not only perform admirably but are also remarkably quiet and fuel-efficient.

Pilots will appreciate the Legacy 600’s spacious cockpit, the largest in its class, equipped with a Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite that reduces workload and stress. It’s ready to fly within 10 minutes, requiring no upgrades for intercontinental flights. Operations are further enhanced by the FADEC-controlled Hamilton-Sundstrand APU, while the heavy-duty, trailing-link landing gear minimizes maintenance. With a digital break-by-wire system, anti-skid protection, and carbon fiber brakes, the Legacy 600 delivers cost-effective operation, rivaling even smaller jets in the midsize class.

Embraer has seamlessly merged business and luxury in the Legacy 600, creating the perfect environment for executives to maintain productivity and style at 41,000 feet.
