Praetor 600

The Embraer Praetor 600 is the super-midsize jet that brought transatlantic range and full fly-by-wire flight controls to a class that traditionally had neither. Developed from the Legacy 500 and certified in 2019, it targets operators who want intercontinental capability, a quiet low-altitude cabin and the handling refinement of a modern airliner-style control system.

Range is rated at roughly 4,000 nautical miles — enough to connect city pairs such as London to New York or São Paulo to Miami nonstop — and the cabin holds one of the lowest cabin altitudes in its class at around 5,800 feet, which reduces fatigue on long sectors. Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics, active turbulence reduction and standard Ka-band connectivity round out a package aimed squarely at business travellers who work en route.

The Praetor 600 fits buyers who want genuine transatlantic reach and a technology edge without moving into large-cabin territory. Those needing a taller or wider cabin, or maximum range, will look to heavy jets; operators who value range, ride quality and fly-by-wire refinement in a super-midsize footprint find it distinctive in the segment. Its smaller sibling, the Praetor 500, offers the same cabin and systems in a midsize, transcontinental-range airframe.
