Legacy 500 To Fly By Year End
11.10.11
At a pre-NBAA tour at the company’s São José dos Campos headquarters near the end of August, Embraer showed off the fuselage of the first prototype of the midsize jet, which was about to receive its wings. In a nearby hangar, the type’s second prototype had just completed the mating of its three fuselage sections.
The 500 will enter testing first, to be followed, according to plans, a year later by the mid-light 450. The pair are clean-sheet designs that are intended to have 95 percent systems commonality, and Embraer is staggering their development so as to not have to make any design changes (if required) to both aircraft. Due to the high similarity planned for the two twinjets, the manufacturer intends to achieve a common type rating for the pair just as it did with its E170 and E190 commercial jets.
FBW Expertise
In addition to sharing the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion cockpit with synthetic-vision system and sidestick flight controls, both twinjets will feature full fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control systems that will offer a wide range of pilot and operator benefits such as optimized performance, enhanced flight safety, enhanced passenger comfort and reduced operating costs.
