A BRAVE LEGIONARY

Embraer has an eye on one of the most powerful segments of the business aviation market, the super mid-size jets. The strategy team of the Brazilian manufacturer explains that, with range increase in relation to the Legacy family, the recently certified Praetor 600 becomes an attractive alternative in this niche, due to the low operating cost, mainly for charters that use to fly with four or less passengers.

The Praetor 600 derives from the Legacy 500 platform, with the addition of two ventral tanks, new winglets and cockpit improvements. Among the novelties in the command cabin there are vertical cut radar, ADS-B In, supplying direction and altitude information of other traffics to the crew, E2VS technology, combining synthetic with infrared vision, providing a more realistic image of the external object by means of the Head Up Display HDU, windshear prediction (10 seconds before the event), in addition to CPDLC datalink and KA band high speed internet.
