The Embraer Legacy 600 is a business jet derivative of the ERJ-145 family of commercial jets. The Legacy is based on the shortened ERJ-135 model, but includes added range with extra fuel tanks and added winglets, similar to those on the ERJ-145XR. Launched in 2000 at the Farnborough Air Show, the Legacy is capable of carrying 16 passengers in comfort for 3,250 nm. As of recently, the Legacy family also includes the Legacy Shuttle, which applies the range of the Legacy to a passenger cabin configuration similar to the ERJ-135.

General
The Legacy competes on the upper end of the small to mid sized range of business jets. It is unique in having nearly the exact opposite design progression as the rival Canadair Challenger. The Legacy was derived from the established Embraer Regional Jet, while the Canadair Regional Jet was developed by Bombardier from the Challenger business jet. Both lines of aircraft are direct competitors. Embraer has since launched lines of aircraft such as the Phenom 300 and the Embraer Lineage to compete with Bombardier in all markets. The Canadair Challenger business jet is a family of mid-sized jets produced by Bombardier Aerospace. ...
