The aircraft
You’ll be in good company if you choose the Embraer Legacy 500, with owners including none other than movie legend and Embraer ambassador, Jackie Chan. Chan reportedly mainly uses his for flying inside China, opting for Embraer’s bigger Legacy 650E when flying further afield.
This midsize jet is capable of a lightning quick Mach 0.83 and with a range of 3,125 nm, it has coast-to-coast capability and then some.
Embraer claims the Legacy 500 produces lower emissions thanks to its Honeywell HTF7500E engines, used across a number of the jet maker’s fleet.
