Embraer quietly sold a half-dozen Legacy 500s to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) in April, newspaper Valor Econômico reported yesterday. Deliveries are expected to start in 2016. In addition, the FAB signed a technology-transfer contract with Norwegian Special Mission for the supply and integration of systems in the fly-by-wire twinjets for the in-flight inspection of Brazil’s aviation navigation aids. Embraer’s Defense and Security division, which was responsible for the sale of the midsize business jets, told AIN, “Embraer doesn’t comment on the configurations of its clients’ aircraft.”
