EMBRAER LEGACY 500:
HI-TECH, MID-SIZE, LO-COST The new super-midsize business jet from Brazil takes an unusual approach to competition. Instead of the usual promises of “bigger, faster, more economical�, it is set to become a technological breakthrough for this size of aircraft. In a market where the buyer pays for a standard combination of range, cabin volume, and efficiency, the Legacy 500 adds a new parameter, and one that is very welcome in the 21st Century.
