Embraer's Legacy 450 Sets Speed Record
The aircraft set records on its flights between California and Hawaii while carrying passengers from AirSprint.
An Embraer Legacy 450 operated by Canadian fractional provider AirSprint recently set speed records on round-trip flights from California to Hawaii late last year, the company announced recently. The Hawaii trip was not only a first for the aircraft, but also for the passengers.
The Legacy then left Hawaii the following day for San Francisco International Airport with three passengers and the same amount of baggage. This flight lasted four hours, 27 minutes and covered 2,379 miles. Thanks to average tailwinds of 24 knots, the average speed was 525.89 mph.
