Embraer's Legacy 450 and Legacy 500 programs steadily advance

Embraer is steadily moving forward with the development of its recently launched midlight Legacy 450 and midsize Legacy 500 executive jets, with the conclusion of the preliminary aircraft design. The joint definition phase (JDP) formally began in July, and more than 20 suppliers of key systems have already been selected. During this new phase, Embraer and the chosen companies will work together to refine and validate the aircraft configuration through a fully digital process, utilizing virtual reality mock-ups, the CATIA V5 software, and state-of-the-art technology.
