Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N81WE, is an Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 completed in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 55010144. The aircraft is owned by Whelen Engineering Company, Inc., a corporation based in Chester, CT, US, and is US-registered. Delivered in 2024 to Whelen Engineering Company, Inc., the jet entered service in new-build condition and is maintained to corporate operator standards consistent with its factory-new status.

The cabin of this specific EMB-545 is a flat-floor, six-foot-tall configuration offering a typical 7–9 passenger executive layout with club seating, optional divan and belted lavatory, and a large in-flight-accessible baggage compartment. Avionics for the airframe are configured with Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting the aircraft’s executive transport mission profile for medium- to long-range domestic and transcontinental routing consistent with a 3,250 nm range and a 426 kt cruise speed. Operated from the owner’s base in Chester, CT, the aircraft is used in corporate transport roles with emphasis on passenger comfort and baggage accessibility. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe center on the twin Honeywell HTF7500E powerplants and systems integration with the Pro Line Fusion avionics suite, reflecting factory-new-condition logistics and scheduled support needs.

The Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 airframe represented by N81WE occupies a performance niche defined by a combination of long-range capability (3,250 nm), high cruise speed (426 kts), and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, paired with a nine-seat executive cabin. These attributes make the model suitable for corporate operators seeking transcontinental range with a high-speed cruise and ample baggage access. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific 2024 airframe will reflect its low-cycle, factory-delivered status, the support environment for Honeywell HTF7500E engines, and the avionics pedigree of Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, all factors that typically influence lifecycle operating costs and market desirability.
