SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil,
June 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer
announced today the first delivery of its new Praetor 600
super-midsize business jet to an undisclosed European customer. The
delivery ceremony was held at the company's production facility in
São José dos Campos, Brazil, where
the first Praetor 600 rolled off the hybrid assembly line that also
produces the Legacy 450 and Legacy 500. Assembly of the Praetor 600
will soon also occur at Embraer's production facility in
Melbourne, Florida, where the
company has produced more than 360 Phenom and Legacy aircraft since
2011.
"We are thrilled to deliver the first Praetor 600 and we are
confident that our customer will be fascinated with the most
disruptive and technologically advanced super-midsize business jet
to enter the market," said Michael
Amalfitano, President & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets.
"The Praetor 600 is certain to create a new value experience for
our customers and help them outperform in their business and
personal endeavors."
Announced at NBAA-BACE in October
2018, where it also made its debut, the Praetor 600 was
certified in April 2019, just six
months after its announcement, becoming the only super-midsize
business jet to be certified since 2014.
"The Praetor 600 unleashes the full potential of its platform
through industry-leading design, engineering and technology that
was yet unseen in the medium cabin class," said Daniel Moczydlower,
Executive Vice President, Embraer Engineering and Technology. "With
Embraer's fourth-generation fly-by-wire technology and more than 25
patented innovations in the interior design and architecture, the
Praetor 600 will ensure an industry-exclusive customer experience
and raise their expectations of business jets."
Leading the way, the Praetor 600 is an aircraft of many firsts,
including the first super-midsize jet with full fly-by-wire
technology, which powers turbulence reduction that not only makes
every flight the smoothest but also the most efficient
possible.
The Praetor 600 is now the farthest-flying super-midsize jet,
able to make nonstop flights between Dubai and London, Paris
and New York, São Paulo and
Miami. With four passengers and
NBAA IFR Reserves, the Praetor 600 has an intercontinental range of
4,018 nautical miles (7,441 km), with the highest payload capacity
in its class, and at Mach 0.80, its range is 3,719 nm (6,887
km).
