The EMBRAER 190 initial flight

The EMBRAER E-Jets are a series of twin-engine jet airliners, produced in Brazil. Most components are common between the aircraft, differing primarily in fuselage length, wingspan, and maximum take-off weight.


The EMBRAER 170 and 175 compete with aircraft such as the Bombardier/Canadair CRJ-700 and CRJ-900, Fairchild-Dornier 728JET, and the Sukhoi Russian Regional Jet, while the 190 and 195 compete with the Fairchild-Dornier 928JET, Boeing 717-200 and 737-600, and the Airbus A318.


The 170 and 175 have 95% commonality with each other, as do the 190 and 195. The two pairs of aircraft have 89% commonality across the whole family.


The 170 has 120 orders, 85 of which are from US Airways, and the 190 has 110 orders, 100 of which are from jetBlue Airways (plus 100 options.) US Airways declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September of 2004, and EMBRAER has suspended the order.

Embraer 170 Commercial Jetliner - Aerospace Technology (1064 words)
The Embraer 170 aircraft is the first member of a new family of commercial jets currently under development at Embraer.
Embraer is responsible for the design and development of the aircraft, manufacture of the forward fuselage, fuselage centre section II, wing-to-fuselage fairings, wing assembly and whole aircraft integration.
The wings of the Embraer 170 are fitted with winglets, which reduced the drag of the tip vortex and provide increased lift and improved efficiency of the wing.
Embraer E-Jets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (930 words)
Embraer dropped the ERJ prefix in its advertising early in production, in order to eliminate the negative image associated with current regional jets such as the CRJ.
The Embraer 170 was the first aircraft of the family to be produced.
From a passenger's point of view, the Embraer jets are a comfortable alternative to both standard regional jets such as the CRJ, and to larger mainline aircraft.
