Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History
- 2013First flight
- 2015 - Primeiro biz jet midsize com fly-by-wire integral
Lancado em outubro de 2015, o Legacy 450 foi um dos primeiros biz jets midsize com sistema fly-by-wire (FBW) digital integral. Antes dele, apenas o Falcon 7X (super-large jet, 2007) tinha FBW na aviacao executiva. Embraer aplicou no 450/500 sua experiencia FBW desenvolvida no E-Jets commercial (E170/E190), com sidestick pilot/copilot estilo Airbus e protecao de envelope (anti-stall, overspeed, bank angle limiter).
- 2015 - Lançamento como midsize 'irmão menor' do 500
Anunciado pela Embraer em 2008. Primeiro voo em dezembro de 2013 e certificação ANAC/FAA em agosto de 2015. Primeira entrega em outubro de 2015.

- 2018 - Reposicionado como Praetor 500 em 2018
Em 2018 a Embraer anunciou o Praetor 500, versao atualizada do Legacy 450 com winglets canted, novos motores Honeywell HTF7500E1 (mesmo empuxo, melhor performance), tanques de combustivel adicionais e range estendido de 2.900 para 3.340 nm. Posicionou o Praetor 500 como super-mid de fato. Producao do Legacy 450 foi descontinuada apos cerca de 100 unidades entregues.
- 2018 - Renomeado Praetor 500 em 2018
Em outubro de 2018 a Embraer anunciou o Praetor 500 como evolução do Legacy 450, adiciona winglets, mais combustível e aviônica atualizada.

Mesma fuselagem do Legacy 500 (super-mid)
Legacy 450 e Legacy 500 compartilham 95% da fuselagem, sistemas e cockpit. A diferenca e que o 450 e ~1m mais curto e tem ~2.000 lbs menos combustivel, posicionando-se na categoria midsize (vs super-mid do 500). Essa estrategia de plataforma comum permitiu desenvolvimento simultaneo, certificacao em paralelo e economia de escala, modelo similar ao adotado pela Bombardier (Challenger 300/350) e Cessna (Citation Excel/XLS+).

Brazil Fleet
Estimativa preliminar, predecessor BR-made do Praetor 500.
O Legacy 450 (Embraer Executive 2015-2018, ~75 unidades, descontinuado quando substituído pelo Praetor 500) tem presença BR de transição, estimativa 4-7 aeronaves, todas pre-owned market hoje (não há mais produção). Foi o lançamento do conceito fly-by-wire Embraer Executive.
Diferenças vs Praetor 500: sem winglets, alcance 2.900 nm (vs 3.340 do Praetor 500), aviônica Pro Line Fusion mas sem o pacote de upgrades fly-by-wire 2.0. Operadores BR migraram em massa pro Praetor 500 quando saiu, frota Legacy 450 BR é residual hoje. Mercado pre-owned: US$ 11-14M (2015-2018).

Benefits
Cabine flat-floor 1,82m e excepcional para midsize
Cabine de 1,82m de altura (stand-up) com piso totalmente plano (flat-floor, sem dropped aisle) e largura de 2,08m e excepcional para a categoria midsize. Compara-se favoravelmente a super-mids como Citation Sovereign, Challenger 300 ou Praetor 600, e supera todos os midsize tradicionais (Hawker 800, Citation Excel, Lear 60). Espaco bagageiro de 110 ft³ tambem e best-in-class para a categoria.
Pista curta de 3.907 ft abre aeroportos restritos
Balanced field length de 3.907 ft (1.191m) ao MTOW e excepcional para um midsize jet com cabine 1,82m e range 2.900 nm. Permite operar de Sorocaba (1.260m), Jundiai (1.400m) e maioria das pistas executivas brasileiras. Comparativamente, Learjet 60 precisa 5.450 ft, Hawker 800XP 5.150 ft, Citation Sovereign 3.940 ft.
Range 2.900 nm cobre rotas continentais BR-Caribe
Range maximo de 2.900 nm (NBAA IFR com 4 passageiros) cobre rotas como GRU-Miami direto, GRU-Bogota, GRU-Lima, ou GRU-Manaus + retorno sem refueling. Mach 0.83 e teto FL450 entregam tempo de voo competitivo com a categoria super-mid. Em frotas charter brasileiras, o 450 cobre 95% das missoes domesticas e regionais sem escala.
Fly-by-wire em midsize
Primeiro midsize do mundo com fly-by-wire full digital, sidestick, envelope protection e auto-throttle típicos de wide-bodies, raro na categoria.

Curiosities
Embraer foi pioneira em FBW na aviacao executiva
Apenas o Dassault Falcon 7X (2007) tinha fly-by-wire integral na aviacao executiva antes do Legacy 450/500. A Embraer foi a SEGUNDA fabricante (e primeira fora de super-large jet) a aplicar FBW em biz jet, anos antes da Bombardier (Global 7500 em 2018) e da Cessna (Citation Longitude em 2019). Tecnologia FBW herdada da experiencia Embraer no E-Jets commercial (E170/E190) certificado em 2004.
Producao em SJC (Brasil) e Melbourne (EUA)
A producao do Legacy 450 (e Legacy 500/Praetor 500/600) e dividida entre Sao Jose dos Campos (Brasil) e Melbourne, Florida (EUA). A Embraer abriu a fabrica de Melbourne em 2016 para customizacao final e entrega ao mercado norte-americano (maior mercado mundial de biz jets), reduzindo prazos e custos de logistica. E o unico fabricante de biz jets com producao integrada em ambos os hemisferios.
Stand-up cabin no segmento midsize
Altura de cabine 1.83m (6 ft) permite passageiros em pé em todo comprimento, incomum entre midsize e herdado da concepção 'flat floor' do projeto Legacy 450/500.
