an extensive drag reduction program. It is certified to 41,000 feet (12,000 m) million(2016)[3]
altitude versus 37,000 feet (11,000 m) for the airline configuration. The Developed from Embraer ERJ 145 family
Legacy Shuttle can seat 19 to 37 in airline-style seats but without the range.

The Legacy 600 competes on the upper end of the small to mid-sized range of business jets
and is considered a "Super Midsize" aircraft. It has nearly the opposite design progression
as the rival Canadair Challenger. The Legacy 600 was derived from the established ERJ
family of regional jets, while the Canadair Regional Jet was developed by Bombardier from
the Challenger business jet. Both lines of aircraft are competitors. Embraer has since
launched an extensive lineup of business aircraft, from the entry-level Phenom 100 to the
Lineage 1000, a bizliner version of the company's 100-seat E-190.

With the updated Mark I cockpit of the EMB-145, the Legacy includes a Honeywell Primus EMB-135BJ Legacy 600 in St.
Moritz, Switzerland
Elite avionics suite glass cockpit.[4]

Legacy 650
Announced at the 2009 NBAA show, the Legacy 650 is a longer-range version of the Legacy 600 giving it a range capability of
7,220km (3,900nmi) non-stop with four passengers, or carry 1,134kg more than the 600 for a 6,290km trip.[5] It was certified by the
FAA in February 2011.[6]

Embraer had a joint venture with Aviation Industry Corp. in China assembling Legacy 650 and ERJ-145 for thirteen years.[7]

introduction in 2017. It includes a synthetic vision system and autothrottle as standard, a
restyled three-zone interior and comes with a 10-year or 10,000-flight-hour warranty.[8]
