"The Legacy 500 offers a new level in comfortable business
travel, and we've been fortunate enough to work with Embraer and
its customers from the beginning to deliver a truly customized and
modern flight experience," said Benjamin
Driggs, president, Honeywell Brazil. "The connectivity
delivered by Ovation Select and reliability inherent in the
HTF7500E engines and the new APU are going to make the Legacy 500 a
productivity tool that customers won't want to live without."
Honeywell's latest member of the HTF7000 engine family, the
HTF7500E, was developed specifically for the Legacy 500 and offers
the latest technology to reduce the Legacy 500's NOx emissions to
29 percent less than Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection
standards. The HTF7000 series to date has flown 2 million flight
hours with a dispatch reliability of greater than 99.9
percent.
The Legacy 500's excellent cabin connectivity and in-flight
entertainment help support productivity and enable passengers to
control cabin temperature and televisions.
"Honeywell's technology has helped the Legacy 500 redefine
customer comfort," said Luciano
Castro, vice president Programs, Embraer Executive Jets.
"The reliability of the engines and the capabilities of the cabin
management and environmental control systems also set new standards
for providing value to operators."
Honeywell Products on the Legacy 500
- The HTF7500E turbofan engine delivers
an optimal balance of performance and value with low maintenance
costs and high reliability for today's business jet operators. The
HTF7500E uses Honeywell's Single Annular Combustor for Emissions
Reduction (SABER) technology to reduce the Legacy 500's NOx
emissions to 29 percent less than Committee on Aviation
Environmental Protection standards, with ample margin for CO,
unburned hydrocarbons and smoke emissions. The HTF7500E's efficient
engine design further reduces CO2 emissions while lowering aircraft
operating costs through reduced fuel consumption.
- The 36-150EMB APU and starter-generator are integrated systems that supply
pneumatic and electric power for the aircraft while on the ground
and in flight. Featuring a ported shroud design, the 36-150EMB APU
has 10 percent more flow and pressure than previous models for
faster, cooler starting of the main engine and runs at a lower load
point to reduce fuel burn and improve reliability.
- The Ovation Select Cabin Management
System provides passengers with state-of-the-art connectivity
for work and leisure via their smartphone, tablet or installed
remote controls. Through an intuitive interface that integrates
high-definition screens, remote controls and other electronics
developed for the ultimate passenger experience, Honeywell's
Ovation Select enables passengers to stay informed and connected
with their business operations while traveling. In addition to
controlling the system's entertainment and productivity components,
Ovation Select also puts lighting, seats, temperature and galley
controls at the passengers' fingertips.
- The air conditioning system,
cabin pressure control system, supplemental
cooling system and ventilation system
are all part of the integrated environmental control system (ECS).
Through a holistic approach, Honeywell is able to provide a more
comfortable experience for passengers by minimizing changes in the
cabin environment and reducing the workload for the crew. The
Honeywell ECS is the highest efficiency, lowest weight solution in
the industry, providing the Legacy 500 with reduced fuel
consumption.
