The miniature movie was released at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva in May and was viewed "with great excitement," according to an Embraer spokesperson. EBACE was the first public appearance of the Legacy 500 prototype. The aircraft is fly-by-wire, and has flight envelope protection and a host of other technological advances. The video has attracted almost 18,000 views on YouTube.
