The Legacy 450 shares its Embraer DNA
design and cabin cross-section with
the Legacy 500; its lower price reflects
its shorter length and range. Whereas
the maximum capacity on the Legacy
500 is 12 passengers, the Legacy 450
can accommodate nine.
The standard layout features a
forward refreshment centre, seven
club seats in one cabin zone plus an
additional row, with a private lavatory

and vanity with wardrobe and baggage
space. The club seats can berth into
two full beds. Customers can opt for
a side-facing two-seat divan or a wet
galley in the forward cabin.
The Legacy 450 features a lot of the
same equipment as the Legacy 500 –
including the digital flight controls, the
Upper Tech Panel, the IFEC and CMS
equipment, the new seat styles, and
the maximum cabin altitude.
The Legacy 500 was launched with
the Embraer DNA design, with
special attention paid to aspects
such as geometric dimensioning and
tolerancing, to create a quality feel.
For example, trim panels are attached
with floating gaps to allow for the
normal flex of an aircraft during
flight, and to ease maintenance.
The aircraft also features the
exclusive Upper Tech Panel, a backlit
touchscreen panel integrating
essential flight information and
lighting controls that only appear as
the display is touched – in line with
the aim to hide technology wherever
possible. IFEC equipment includes an
HD video system, surround sound,
multiple audio and video input
options, a CMS,
and four options for voice
communications and connectivity.
The standard configuration
features eight fully berthing seats in
two zones, with a private lavatory and
vanity with wardrobe and baggage
space, plus a standard wet galley at
the entryway.
Optional cabin features include a
side-facing or jump seat in front of
the galley and a three-place divan in
the second cabin zone.
Embraer introduced three new
seat styles in 2018, along with
improved pressurisation – it is now
5,800ft (1,768m) at 45,000ft (13,716m),
with sea-level pressurisation through
27,050ft (8,245m). Pilots benefit from
digital flight controls.
