In 2002, a dedicated subsidiary, Embraer Executive Jets , was created, as the Legacy was introduced into service. In 2005, the Phenom 100 was first envisioned as an air taxi similar to the Eclipse 500 , competing with Cessna and Hawker Beechcraft . It

462-496: A 70-seater jet since their separate projects were not yet launched. In February 1999, Embraer announced it had abandoned the derivative approach in favour of an all-new design. On 14 June 1999, the E-Jet family was formally launched at the Paris Air Show , initially using the twin designations ERJ-170 and ERJ-190 ; these were subsequently changed to Embraer 170 and Embraer 190 respectively. The launch customers for

539-517: A 99.9% dependability. In November 2011, Embraer announced that it would develop revamped versions of the E-Jet to be called the E-Jet E2 family. The new jets would feature improved engines that would be more fuel efficient and take advantage of new technologies. Beyond the new engines, the E2 family would also feature new wings, improved avionics, and other improvements to the aircraft. The move came amid

616-504: A complementary regional jet, including designs that would be larger and more advanced than its preceding aircraft. During March 1997, Embraer made its first public disclosure that it was studying a new 70-seat aircraft, which was initially referred to as the EMB 170 ; this reveal was issued concurrently with the announcement of the development of the ERJ 135 . As originally conceived, the EMB 170

693-565: A fleet of 21 E190s, typically flying routes from London City Airport to various destinations both within the United Kingdom and continental Europe. CityFlyer has publicly stated that a key factor in it opting for the E-Jet over competitors such as the De Havilland Canada Dash 8 was due to its greater speed. The procurement of E-Jets by CityFlier led to other competing British regional airliners taking interest in

770-478: A new, larger wing, a larger horizontal stabilizer, adding two emergency overwing exits , and a new engine. Both the Embraer 190 and Embraer 195 are fitted with two underwing-mounted General Electric CF34 -10E turbofan engines, rated at 82.29 kN (18,500 lbf). The engines are equipped with full authority digital engine control (FADEC). The fully redundant, computerized management system continuously optimizes

The E175 was initially equipped with the same style of winglets as the rest of the E-Jet family. Starting in 2014, the winglets were made wider and more angled. Those winglets and other changes to the aircraft over time have improved efficiency. Embraer said that aircraft produced after 2017 consume 6.4% less fuel than original E175 aircraft. The angled winglets increase

1925-665: The Brazilian Air Force became interested in an upgraded version of the Uirapuru. A prototype, designated Uirapuru II , was built; but, by the time it flew, the Air Force no longer required it. A small number were built for export. In 1987, the firm was sold to Embraer. Born from a Brazilian government plan and having been state-run, Embraer eventually started a privatisation process in 1992 alongside other state-run companies, such as Telebrás and Vale . Privatisation

5005-497: The wingspan from 26 m (85 ft 4 in) to 28.65 m (93 ft 11 in). This winglet change was only made available to the E175 and no other models in the family. In late 2017, Embraer announced the E175SC (special configuration), limited to 70 seats like the E170 to take advantage of the E175 performance improvements but still comply with US airline scope clauses limiting operators to 70 seats. Embraer

5082-541: The year. The E190F will have a payload capacity of 10,700 kg (23,600 lb), while the E195F’s will be 12,300 kg (27,100 lb). The company secured its first order in May 2023 for ten aircraft from lessor Nordic Aviation Capital , to be delivered to Astral Aviation as the launch operator. On 2 May 2006, Embraer announced plans for the business jet variant of the E190, the Embraer Lineage 1000. It has

5159-487: Was a key policy of the economically liberal government of Fernando Collor , elected in the 1989 presidential election . Embraer was sold to private investors on December 7, 1994, which helped it avoid a looming bankruptcy. The Brazilian government retained interest through possession of golden shares , which allow it veto power. Embraer continued to win government contracts throughout the 2000s and 2010s. In 2000, Embraer made simultaneous initial public offerings on

5236-510: Was apparently a response to an American Airlines request for an aircraft to replace its McDonnell Douglas MD-80s . Embraer abandoned plans for the 195X in May 2010, following concerns that its flight range would be too short. The commercial names used for the E170 and E190 families differ from the official model designations, as used (for instance) with the Type-Certificates, and in national registries. As of April 2024 ,

5313-540: Was completed during September 2013. By July 2020, approximately 25 million passengers had flown on the Canadian fleet over a cumulative 650,000 flight hours, while a total of 25 E175s were in service on both domestic and transborder flights into the US, which were then being flown under the Air Canada Express branding. In March 2021, Air Canada announced its intention to consolidate all regional flying under

5390-423: Was delivered on May 7, 2009. In October 2013, Embraer introduced the Lineage 1000E, which delivers a greater range of 4,600 nautical miles [nmi] (8,519 km; 5,294 mi). In addition, the new Lineage 1000E features new in-flight entertainment and cockpit options. In 2019, its unit cost was US$ 49.9 million. In August 2020 Embraer announced that it was stopping sales of the Lineage 1000. On 6 October 2020,

5467-543: Was introduced in 2008 and is the basis of the larger Phenom 300 . The midsize Legacy 450 and Legacy 500 were jointly developed as clean sheet designs, while the Lineage 1000 is a VIP version of the E190 . In 2016, Embraer delivered its 1,000th executive jet and had a market share of 17% by volume, though it lacked an ultra-long-range large cabin jet. In October 2018 Embraer announced two new business jets—the Praetor 500 in

5544-399: Was revealed in early 1997 and was formally introduced at the Paris Air Show two years later. On 19 February 2002, the first prototype E-Jet conducted its maiden flight ; later that year, quantity production of the type commenced. In early March 2004, the first E170 deliveries were made to LOT Polish Airlines . Larger versions of the aircraft, the E190 and E195, debuted later in 2004, while

5621-689: Was the first in a series of highly successful small and regional airliners. In addition to its own line of aircraft, beginning in 1974, Embraer was licensed by the United States' Piper Aircraft to develop, produce, and market its light airplanes, as Brazil was one of the world's leading importers of small single- or twin-engine aircraft. Piper first put together knock-down kits in its U.S. factory for Embraer to then assemble and market in Brazil and Latin America. By 1978, most parts and components were being sourced by Embraer locally. The aircraft were sold as

5698-573: Was the first operator of the E195, had 14 orders and 12 options, and started E195 operations on 22 September 2006. Flybe have since decided that they would remove the aircraft from their fleet in favour of the Dash 8 Q400 and Embraer 175, in an effort to reduce costs, by 2020. Air Canada operated 45 E190 aircraft fitted with 9 business-class and 88 economy-class seats as part of its primary fleet. They were retired in May 2020. American Airlines operated E190s until 2020. JetBlue and Georgian Airways operate

5775-622: Was the first to enter revenue service in March 2004. As of 2017, the E170 went out of production. The Embraer 170 typically seats around 72 passengers in a typical single class configuration, 66 in a dual class configuration, and up to 78 in a high-density configuration. The E170 directly competed with the Bombardier CRJ700 and loosely with the turboprop Bombardier Q400 . The jet is powered with General Electric CF34-8E engines of 14,200 pounds (62.28 kN) thrust each. The E175

5852-518: Was to feature a new wing and larger-diameter fuselage mated to the nose and cockpit of the ERJ 145 . The proposed derivative would have cost $ 450 million to develop. While Alenia , Aerospatiale and British Aerospace through AI(R) were studying the Airjet 70 based on the ATR 42/72 fuselage for a 2,200 km (1,200 nmi; 1,400 mi) range, AI(R) and Embraer were studying a joint development of

5929-603: Was unclear whether the aircraft would be rebranded as Boeing models. On November 18, 2019, Boeing and Embraer announced another joint venture, at 49% and 51% respectively, to promote and develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium tactical transport aircraft; the resulting entity would be called Boeing Embraer – Defense and would begin operating after regulatory approvals and closing conditions. In April 2020, Boeing canceled its acquisition of Embraer's commercial operations after being heavily affected financially by
