Embraer Legacy 600 For Sale
The Embraer Legacy 600 is a large cabin, long range business jet derived from the Embraer ERJ 135 regional jet platform. First delivered in 2002, the Legacy 600 adapts the proven regional jet airframe with additional fuel tanks, a redesigned interior, and winglets for improved range and efficiency. It offers one of the largest cabin cross sections in the super large category at a competitive price point.
Powered by two Rolls Royce AE 3007A1E engines, each producing 7,965 pounds of thrust, the Legacy 600 has a range of 3,400 nautical miles at long range cruise. The cabin measures 42 feet 8 inches long, 6 feet 11 inches wide, and 6 feet tall, typically seating 13 to 15 passengers in three distinct zones. The aft baggage compartment offers 240 cubic feet of luggage space, the largest in its class.
Design Heritage and Market Position
The Legacy 600 benefits from its regional jet heritage with a robust airframe designed for high cycle operations. This translates to low maintenance costs per flight hour compared to clean sheet business jet designs. The Honeywell Primus Elite avionics suite provides a fully integrated glass cockpit with terrain awareness and traffic avoidance systems.
The Legacy 600 competes with the Bombardier Challenger 604 and the Gulfstream G200, offering a longer cabin than the G200 and comparable range to the Challenger 604 at a lower operating cost. It is well suited to transatlantic operations connecting Europe and the eastern United States, and is widely used by charter operators across the United Kingdom and continental Europe.
