It has two engines, 6,555 nm of range, a cruise speed of 470 kt and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, which allows direct connections between Brazil, North America and Europe. The cabin, inherited from a commercial airplane, is typically configured for 25 occupants and holds up to 30, in layouts that usually combine an office, a meeting room and a rest area. With a list price of US$82.5 million and an MTOW of 82,191 kg, the model competes in the segment of airliners converted for corporate and state use, and not in that of traditional-size business jets.
