The Embraer E-Jet family is a
series of narrow-body medium-range twin-engine jet airliners, carrying 66 to
124 passengers commercially, manufactured by Brazilian aerospace
manufacturer Embraer. The aircraft family was first introduced at the Paris
Air Show in 1999 and entered production in 2002. |
The series has been a commercial
success primarily due to its ability to efficiently serve lower-demand
routes while offering many of the same amenities and features of larger
jets. The aircraft is used by mainline and regional airlines around the
world but has proven particularly popular with regional airlines in the
United States.
The Embraer E-Jets line is
composed of two main commercial families and a business jet variant. The
smaller E170 and E175 make up the base model aircraft. The E190 and E195 are
stretched versions, with different engines and larger wing, horizontal
stabilizer and landing gear structures. The 170 and 175 share 95%
commonality, as do the 190 and 195. The two families share near 89%
commonality, with identical fuselage cross-sections and avionics, featuring
the Honeywell Primus Epic Electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) suite.
All E-Jets use four-abreast
seating (2+2) and have a "double-bubble" design, which Embraer developed for
its commercial passenger jets, that provides stand-up headroom.
The E-jets also have winglets to
improve efficiency.
