N175U

This entry documents airframe N175U, an Embraer-built Praetor 500 delivered in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 55010010. The aircraft is owned by the corporation UNUM GROUP, based in Chattanooga, TN, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s configuration and registry reflect a corporate executive transport role; acquisition and continued operation by UNUM GROUP mark the principal ownership timeline. Current valuation is recorded at $16,500,000, indicating its market position among late-model mid-size business jets.

The cabin of N175U is outfitted in an executive 7–9 passenger layout featuring club seats, a belted divan, a forward refreshment center, an aft lavatory, and large external baggage capacity, supporting typical corporate missions. Avionics are installed as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion system, enabling modern integrated flightdeck capabilities suitable for long-range business operations. Based on owner location, routine operations and maintenance are likely conducted from Chattanooga, TN, US, supporting regional to transcontinental missions within the aircraft’s 3,340 nm range and typical cruise of 426 kts. Maintenance considerations reflect twin Honeywell HTF7500E engines and the Pro Line Fusion avionics suite, which drive both inspection cycles and component support planning.

The airframe is an example of the Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500, a member of Embraer’s mid-size, long-range business jet family that emphasizes extended range and advanced avionics for corporate operators. With a high-speed cruise of 426 kts and maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type competes in performance and cabin comfort against other super-midsize business jets. Buyer and charter demand typically favors aircraft with modern avionics like Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion and reliable Honeywell HTF7500E powerplants, factors that also influence maintenance planning and resale value.
