The Legacy 450 mockup will be available at the Embraer Stand 5526 for the news media to preview following the Embraer press conference which will be held on October 29 from 2:00 pm to 2:45 pm in Room N22A at the Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center. The mockup will be available from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

A public unveiling of the mockup will be held at 10 am at the company’s Stand 5526 the next morning, October 30.

“NBAA is an important show for Embraer Executive Jets which is why we chose to debut the Legacy 450 mockup to emphasize its role as a revolutionary business aircraft,” said Ernest Edwards, President, Embraer Executive Jets. “The Legacy 450 is the only mid-light aircraft with fly-by-wire technology and a six-foot, stand-up cabin with a flat floor. Our participation at NBAA is designed to reflect the advances our aircraft bring to the business aviation market. The fact that this year’s NBAA is in our home state allows us not only to show off our aircraft but our Customer Center and headquarters in nearby Melbourne.”

In addition to the entry-level Phenom 100 and light Phenom 300, the large Legacy 650 and the ultra-large Lineage 1000, Embraer Executive Jets will also be showing a Pre-Flown, super-midsize Legacy 600.
