Legacy 650E shows stature with work of art


Embraer last month showed off a Legacy 650E whose livery was specially designed as a work of art, to reflect its prominence as a globally desired business jet. 

The jet was displayed at the 2017 Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (LABACE) in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The bold paint design is a visual masterpiece that unites the aircraft’s aesthetic and robust heritage with its modern appeal and advanced technology. 

Embraer’s paint and design team at São José dos Campos explored myriad colours, styles and possibilities to create the delicate handmade design, which was then carried out to perfection by a cutting-edge robotic paint system.

Featuring a beautiful blue gradient as its backdrop, the aircraft’s colour scheme conveys a sense of power, integrity and safety through the generous use of dark blue; the gradual light blue transition represents health, tranquillity and inspiration; and metallic silver accents provide an elegant and rich appearance. 

A world map, replete with visual reminders of the jet’s attributes and value proposition, provides a stunning centrepiece for the meticulously designed artwork and brings the Legacy 650E’s evolution to life.

Embraer unveiled a new version of its Legacy 650 large business jet, the Legacy 650E, in October 2016. Featuring automation and technology updates, the aircraft, which already has exceptional operational costs and the largest cabin in its class, now carries an unprecedented 10-year or 10,000-flight hour warranty, which is the longest in the business jet industry, according to the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer.

With a restyled seat upholstery, the Legacy 650E’s spacious cabin features three distinct cabin zones with ample privacy, plus the exclusive option for a separate crew lavatory in the forward cabin.

Refinements to the aircraft fight deck include the Synthetic Vision System (SVS), as part of the latest Primus Elite Advanced Features (PEAF) from Honeywell, which also includes traffic collision avoidance system symbology and XM ground-based weather information to the moving map, providing pilots with enhanced situational awareness. In addition to the PEAF, the Legacy 650E also comes with auto throttle as standard equipment, improving the level of automation and reducing the cockpit workload. These technologies complement the proven Legacy 650E avionics system, which is compliant with all next-generation airspace mandates and requirements.

Besides that, two iPads with mounting systems are available in the cockpit, enabling pilots to enjoy a friendlier interface, easier updates and a full range of other tools to support their operation. These features reduce cockpit workload and create a more intuitive environment with the technological conveniences that pilots desire.

The Legacy 650E comfortably carries up to 14 passengers with privacy in three distinct cabin zones with premium acoustic comfort. In addition to the best-in-class galley and a fully accessible in-flight baggage compartment that is larger than most ultra-long-range business jets, the aircraft may be configured with up to two lavatories. The Legacy 650E features internet connectivity and the latest generation in full HD in-flight entertainment, with Honeywell’s Ovation Select entertainment and cabin management system. The aircraft has a range of 3,900 nautical miles (7,223 km) with four passengers, with NBAA IFR fuel reserves.
