Designed to fit between its entry-level jets and behemoth bizliners, Embaer's Legacy 450 has changed the midsize jet game with superb speed and range and fly-by-wire controls.

Flying recently had the chance to fly and review the Legacy 450 near Embraer's production facility in Melbourne, Florida.

See some of what gives the Legacy 450 a leg up on the competition in the photos below.
