Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy
The Embraer Legacy 600, later stretched further as the Legacy 650, adapts the airframe of Embraer's ERJ 135/145 regional jet family into a large-cabin business jet, an unusually direct conversion from airliner to private jet. That airliner heritage gives it one of the roomiest cabins in the super-midsize business jet class, with genuine airliner-style headroom and a separate crew rest area on longer flights. Corporate flight departments and charter operators value its combination of long range and cabin comfort at a lower price than purpose-built large-cabin rivals. It remains one of Embraer's most successful business jet programs.
