The Legacy 650 was recently certified by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Authority (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The first deliveries are scheduled for this year. 

The large-cabin Legacy 650 carries 13 passengers (standard configuration). The quiet and refined cabin features a high-end interior, with leather seats, divan, credenza, and tables for meals or meetings. There is also a spacious galley for preparing hot and cold meals, an ample aft lavatory, wardrobes, cabinets, and an entertainment system with DVD and satellite communication.  

Optional High-Speed Data (HSD) SwiftBroadband equipment and Wi-Fi technology enable customers to browse the Internet, access e-mails, and transfer files during flight, providing better use of time, increased work productivity and more entertainment possibilities. The aircraft has a large baggage compartment that is easily accessed during flight, and has a total capacity of 240 cubic feet (6,800 liters). 

Powered by two highly efficient Rolls-Royce AE 3007A2 engines, the jet has a maximum cruising speed of Mach 0.80. Its range of 3,900 nautical miles (7,223 kilometers) with four passengers, or 3,840 nautical miles (7,112 kilometers) with eight passengers, both with NBAA IFR fuel reserves, means that the aircraft can fly nonstop from London (UK) to New York (USA); Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to London or Singapore; Miami (USA) to São Paulo (Brazil); Singapore to Sydney (Australia); or Mumbai (India) to Central Europe. 

The Legacy 650 also features Honeywell Primus Elite™ avionics. The flight deck incorporates an upgraded graphical user interface, enabling smarter and faster decisions while reducing pilot workload. Highly reliable liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors add graphics capabilities not possible with cathode ray tubes (CRT).
