A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. The Legacy 500: aluminium with a composite tail. This is how the Embraer EMB-550 Praetor 600 and Legacy 500 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
