Key Takeaways:

As Embraer is gearing up for the National Business Aviation Association’s annual convention in Las Vegas, which is coming up on October 22 through 24, the company has leaked a few tidbits of what showgoers can expect to see at the Embraer booth and at the static displays inside the convention center and at Henderson Executive Airport (HND), in the southern edge of the city.

NBAA visitors will for the first time be able to get their hands on the new, high-tech Legacy 500, which the Brazilian company hopes to introduce to the market next year. More than 650 flight hours have been logged on the midsize, fly-by-wire jet. The Legacy 500 will be on display with a new, patented interior, which will also be available for the Legacy 450, a smaller version of the 500 that Embraer hopes to fly for the first time before the year end.
