The Embraer Legacy 450 is the most modern midsize jet regularly available to Palm Beach charter clients, and its 2,904 nautical miles of range moves it into territory most midsize aircraft cannot reach. From West Palm Beach it flies nonstop to Denver, Aspen and most of the Caribbean, which covers both halves of a Palm Beach client’s winter.
Embraer built the Legacy 450 with full fly-by-wire controls, two Honeywell HTF7500E engines and a flat-floor cabin seating 7 to 9 passengers, cruising around 462 knots. The flat floor and 6-foot cabin height are unusual in the midsize class and come from Embraer’s decision to use a near-circular fuselage cross-section. Range is 2,904 nautical miles, the longest in the midsize category.

Why the Embraer Legacy 450 Fits Palm Beach
West Palm Beach to Aspen is roughly 1,540 nautical miles and to Eagle about 1,550. Both are nonstop for the Legacy 450 with a full cabin. For Palm Beach families who ski in January and February, this is the midsize aircraft that does not ask for a fuel stop in Kansas on the way out.
The flat floor is the feature clients notice. Walking down the aisle of a Learjet or an older Hawker is a stoop; in the Legacy 450 it is a walk. On a 4-hour leg to Colorado or a 3-hour run to Barbados at about 1,420 nautical miles, that difference is the one passengers comment on afterward.
Deep Caribbean routing is inside the envelope. St Lucia at about 1,330 nautical miles and Barbados at about 1,420 are single legs, so a Palm Beach client chartering for a villa week in the Windwards does not have to move up to a super midsize to get there directly.
