莱格赛500宽敞的机舱有多 种不同配置供客户选择。
Several different configurations are available for the Legacy 500’s spacious cabin.
航电系统采用了罗克韦尔·柯林斯 （Rockwell Collins）公司最先进的Pro Line Fusion系统。控制台内的四台大型 主动矩阵LCD和可选的抬头显示器能为驾 驶员提供高精度图像；直观的MultiScan 气象雷达系统覆盖范围可达300 mile（555 km），能提供电子图表、地图、以及气象 数据分析；机场地面管理系统能最大限度 减少转弯错误或与地面上的其他车辆碰撞 导致的危险，即使能见度有限时也是如 此。该系统能在减少驾驶员工作负荷的同 时，集中显示所有安全系统提供的飞行数 据。MultiScan气象雷达系统的预测功能不 仅能引导飞行员远离恶劣气象条件，甚至 还能安全穿越。Fusion系统还能有效扩展 以集成新一代产品，包括语音识别、地面 引导、广播式自动相关监视（ADS-B）、空 中交通管制预警系统。 最普通的中杆操纵器不见了，取而代之 的是连接电传飞行控制系统（FBW）的侧 杆操纵器。该系统是第一种应用于4000万 美元以下机型的飞行控制系统。这种设计 移除了飞行控制系统与飞行控制表面（副 翼、方向舵、升降舵和尾翼）之间的机械 连接。飞行员的操作能与传感器输入和电
脑处理的飞行控制规则相结合，以确保既 迅速、又精确地输入不会偏离飞机安全性 能范围的数据。FBW最早应用于军用战斗机 上，后来逐渐在民用飞机上普及。 对该系统在支线飞机和军用飞机上的应 用，巴西航空具有丰富的经验。FBW比传统 的机械控制系统更轻巧，因此能使飞行变 得更安全、更快捷。 但这并非500型上采用的唯一新型设 备，飞机还配备了静音效果出色、清洁、 高效的霍尼韦尔HTF7500E发动机，能满足 最严格的噪音或污染物排放法规的要求。 据霍尼韦尔公司介绍，该发动机采用了独 有技术，它在提高燃油燃烧效率的同时， 显著减少了氧化氮、一氧化碳、未燃尽的 燃油排放物和烟气的产生。如果您喜欢一 大早就闻到航空煤油的味道，那500型肯 定会让您失望。 如果您需要一架航程能横贯大陆、机舱 匠心独具、温馨舒适、配备先进航电系统 和运营成本更低的公务机，莱格赛500绝对 应该是您的首选。巴西航空的Edwards去年 夏天跟我说：“我迫不及待地希望这种飞 机能早点送到飞行员和客户手中”。这一 切将在2013年底实现。

customer advisory panel saw the preliminary cabin mockup, said Ernest Edwards, president of Embraer Executive Jets. As on its smaller Phenom jets, Embraer collaborated with BMW DesignworksUSA on cabin styling on the 500. The aircraft features Honeywell’s highdefinition Ovation Select cabin-management system, which allows passengers to manage all cabin entertainment, communications, lights, temperature, galley and window-shade controls via drink-railmounted personal control units, wireless handheld remotes or a galley touchscreen. It can interface with high-speed satellite communications and a variety of consumer electronics, including iPods, MP3 players, Apple TV and gaming systems. Moreover, it is built on an Ethernet backbone and has extensive diagnostic and troubleshooting capability. Ovation’s media interface also hosts the optional JetMap3HD moving-map applications and the latest news, weather and sports updates. Ovation uses high-end Rosen HD monitors and Alto audio components. The pressurization system keeps cabin altitude at a comfortable 6,000 feet (1,829 m) at the 500’s maximum cruising altitude of 45,000 feet (13,716 m). The cabin is impressive, but the cockpit is what really got my attention. Call it fighter jet meets Bentley Continental GT. The avionics are state-of-the-art Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion. The four large active-matrix LCDs in the panel connect the pilots with synthetic enhanced vision with an optional headsup display; electronic charts, maps, graphical weather depiction from an intuitive MultiScan weather radar system that sees up to 300 miles (555 km) out; and an airport surface-management system that minimizes the chances of making a wrong turn or colliding with another vehicle on the ground–even when visibility is limited. The system is designed to minimize pilot workload while incorporating data from just about every known safety system available. The
MultiScan weather radar has the predictive capability to guide pilots not just around bad weather, but over it. Fusion can grow to accommodate future technology add-ons including voice recognition, surface guidance and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADSB), the future of air traffic control. The stodgy control yokes are gone, replaced by side sticks connected to a fly-by-wire (FBW) flight-control system, the first for an airplane under $40 million. FBW eliminates the mechanical linkages between the flight controls and the flight control surfaces (ailerons, rudder, elevator and spoilers). Pilot inputs are combined with sensor inputs and computerized flight control laws for crisper and faster inputs that do not deviate from the aircraft’s performance envelope. FBW first appeared on fighter jets and later modern airliners. Embraer has extensive experience with it on its large regional jets and military aircraft. FBW systems are lighter than traditional mechanical systems and generally make flying safer and easier. But that’s not all that is new on the 500–so are the quiet, clean and efficient Honeywell HTF7500E engines, which should satisfy any noise curfew or emission standard that even the most creative bureaucrat can fashion. Honeywell says the engines use proprietary technologies that improve fuel burn while reducing production of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, unburned fuel emissions and smoke. If you love the smell of kerosene in the morning, the 500 may not be the airplane for you. However, if you want an airplane with transcontinental range, a comfortable and innovative cabin, the latest avionics and good operating economics, the 500 should make your list of finalists. “I can’t wait for this airplane to get into the hands of pilots and customers,” Embraer’s Edwards told me last summer. That should happen by the end of 2013. o
Business Jet Traveler Helps Passengers Make the Most of Private Air Travel This article first appeared in Business Jet Traveler magazine–part of the AIN group, which also produces ABACE Convention News and many other daily editions at leading air shows around the world, as well as the monthly editions of Aviation International News. Here at the ABACE show in Shanghai, you can also pick the first ever Chinese-language edition of Business Jet Traveler’s annual Buyers’ Guide. This has been produced to give Chinese private aviation users the most comprehensive guide to buying and using business aircraft available today. No other private aviation magazine covers this mode of transportation in such detail and with such objectivity and independence. Business Jet Traveler–or BJT, as it is widely known–has been helping subscribers maximize their investment in private aviation since 2003. It offers unbiased reviews of new and used aircraft; advice about buying and selling jets; and information about taxes, laws, financing, safety, maintenance, insurance and more. It also features articles about new luxury cars, vacation destinations and other leisure pursuits, plus interviews with famous business jet users ranging from pianist Lang Lang to real-estate mogul Donald Trump and the entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson. It’s a blend of content you can’t find in any other magazine anywhere in the world. BJT’s exclusive audience of high-net-worth readers has grown 55 percent since the magazine began publishing. During the same period, it has won more than a dozen major editorial awards. To see more content like this go to www.bjtonline.com or www.ainonline.com.
