Embraer Executive Jets Praetor 600
The Praetor 600 evolved from the Legacy 500 with added fuel, winglets and uprated HTF7500E engines, giving it a 4,018 nm range that is the longest in the super-midsize class and enough for London to New York. Full fly-by-wire, a 5,800 ft cabin altitude and a flat-floor cabin have made it a strong seller, with Flexjet as a major fleet operator.
In short: The Embraer Executive Jets Praetor 600 is a Super-Midsize Jet with a range of 4,018 nm, a cruise speed of 466 knots and room for 8 passengers. It lists at about $24M new and costs roughly $3,300 an hour to operate (estimate).
