Fly-by-wire
Fly-by-wire replaces conventional mechanical links between flight deck controls and flight control surfaces and offers complete envelope protection in all phases of flight.
- Fly-by-wire advantage: weight savings, improves performance, reduce crew workload, smoother flight, increased pilot control.
- Legacy 500 and Legacy 450 are the only fly-by-wire equipped aircraft less than $50 million.

this class of jets. Innovative system characteristics such as flight
control laws and architecture have won Embraer recognition as Innovator of the Year by Flight Global in 2010.
