Embraer rolled out its newest executive jet, the midsize Legacy 500, from the production hangar at the São José dos Campos headquarters, in Brazil. The aircraft’s first flight is scheduled for the third quarter of 2012.
Following the rollout, the aircraft will undergo initial systems evaluations leading to the first engine run, and then to the ground vibration tests (GVT), and the full regimen of ground tests. This aircraft is the first of three prototypes that will be used in development, ground, flight and certification testing.
There are more than 800 Embraer engineers supporting these technical efforts. The aircraft will be certified by ANAC (Brazil), FAA (USA), EASA (Europe), and other aviation authorities in key markets throughout the world.
