Embraer Executive Jets Legacy 450
The Legacy 450 shortened the Legacy 500 to compete in the light-midsize segment while keeping fly-by-wire controls and the stand-up flat-floor cabin. Just 58 were built between 2015 and 2019 before the Praetor 500 replaced it, and Embraer offers a factory upgrade path to Praetor 500 performance.
In short: The Embraer Executive Jets Legacy 450 is a Midsize Jet with a range of 2,900 nm, a cruise speed of 466 knots and room for 7 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $9M–$13M and costs roughly $2,800 an hour to operate (estimate).
