Development

Early design

Embraer ERJ 145XR wing with winglet detail

The ERJ 145 was launched at the Paris Airshow in 1989 as a stretched and turbofan-powered modification of the EMB 120 Brasilia. Key components of this design included: Image File history File linksMetadata No higher resolution available. ... Image File history File linksMetadata No higher resolution available. ...

• Straight wing (with winglets)
• Wing-mounted engines
• Range of 2500 km
• 75% parts commonality with the EMB 120.

Interim design

By 1990, Embraer engineers found that results from wind-tunnel testing were satisfactory, and began considering a significantly different design from the EMB 120. A modified design was proposed which included:^{[citation needed]}

• 22.3° swept wing (with winglet)
• Wing-mounted engine
• Range of 2500 km

Production design

British Airways Citiexpress (Then BA Connect, now Flybe) ERJ 145 in British Airways utopia livery Pathania

The second design showed better performance in wind tunnel testing, but the combination of swept wings and wing-mounted engines required an undercarriage which was significantly higher than previous iterations. The design evolved until late 1991, at which time it was frozen. Though the aircraft went through many alterations before it was finalized, it did retain a few of the original influences of the EMB 120 such as the three abreast seating (2+1) configuration. The key features of the production design included: British Airways Embraer ERJ 145 (G-EMBI), taking off from Bristol Airport, Bristol, England. ...

In 1997 British Airways adopted a new livery. ...

• Rear mounted engines
• Swept wings (no winglets)
• "T"-tail configuration
• Range of 2500km

The company was seen to be at a disadvantage due to the delay in bringing the aircraft to service, partly because of the change in the aircraft's design. The first design was intended to retain as much commonality as possible with the EMB 120 Brasilia. However, the aircraft has sold well thus overcoming the initial setbacks.

Embraer ERJ 135

The ERJ 140 is based on the ERJ 145 with 96% parts commonality and the same crew-type rating. The only significant changes are a shorter fuselage, a slightly de-tuned engine and an increased range. At launch, Embraer estimated the cost of an ERJ 140 to be approximately $15.2 million U.S. dollars. The estimated cost of development of the ERJ 140 was $45 million US dollars. The ERJ 135, with an entry into service date of 1999, has 95% parts commonality with the ERJ 145, but is 11.7 feet (3.6 m) shorter. Image File history File links Embraer_ERJ_135. ...

The ERJ 145 seats 50 passengers, while the ERJ 140 seats 44, and the ERJ 135 seats 37. The ERJ 140 was designed with fewer seats in order to meet the needs of airlines based in the United States which have an agreement with the pilot's union as to the number of 50 seat aircraft that can be operated.

The first flight of the ERJ 145 was on 11 August 1995, with the first delivery in December 1996 to ExpressJet Airlines (then the regional division of Continental Airlines). ExpressJet is the largest operator of the ERJ 145, with 270 of the nearly 1000 ERJ 145s in service. The second largest operator is American Eagle, with 206 ERJ 145 aircraft. Chautauqua Airlines also operates 95 ERJ 145s through its alliances with American Connection, Delta Connection, US Airways Express, Continental Express, and United Express. By some accounts, the ERJ 145 has a cost of ownership of about $2,500,000 per year. In March 2007 ExpressJet entered into a short term agreement to operate some regional routes for JetBlue Airways using its ERJ 145 aircraft. Image File history File links ERJ_145_Cockpit. ...

The extra long range ERJ-145XR aircraft is equipped with Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E engines. The high performance engines provide lower specific fuel consumption (SFC) and improved performance in hot and high conditions. The engines also yield a higher altitude for one-engine-inoperable conditions."[1] ExpressJet is the sole operator of the ERJ 145XR. Continental Express is the operating name of Expressjet for Continental Airlines. ...

Despite the multiple variants, a single type rating for the ERJ135/140/145 will allow pilots to fly this fleet. Companies like ExpressJet Airlines utilise this benefit with their mix-fleet of ERJ135ER/LR and ERJ145EP/LR/XR. Shared type ratings of aircraft allow companies to save on expensive pilot training, making the Embraer fleet even more attractive to prospective buyers.

Accident history

Embraer 145 of the Brazilian Federal Police (Photo: Lindomar Cruz /ABr)

The ERJ 145 family of aircraft has an outstanding service record with no reported crashes or fatalities due to mechanical malfunction. There have been a small number of reported incidents involving the ERJ 145. In one case a Rio-Sul pilot descended beyond the normal rates and landed at a speed significantly higher than the normal landing speed. This aircraft tail section cracked and was dragged along the runway.^[2] In the other case, a Continental Express (ExpressJet) flight overran a Cleveland runway in blizzard conditions; there were no injuries and the aircraft was returned to service. Another ExpressJet aircraft crashed on takeoff in Beaumont, Texas during a training flight; that aircraft was a total loss, but again no injuries were sustained.
