Crossover narrowbody jets (such as Embraer’s E-Jets and Airbus’s A220 pairing) have been using their distinguishing factor – the ability to create new city pairs – across North America, the mature market in question, for some years.
As a part of their sustainability roadmap and drive towards a greener future, Embraer, along with engine partner Pratt & Whitney, have successfully completed testing of the E195-E2 Tech Lion aircraft, with one engine powered by 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Seen as the best solution to reducing emissions in the short to medium term, two days of ground tests culminated in a 70-minute flight test in Florida. Read article
Embraer is committed to ensuring the future of aviation is sustainable, developing new and exciting aircraft concepts that will lead to carbon-neutral operations by 2040.
Responding to the growth in e-commerce and increased demand for cargo capacity, we’ve launched the E190F and E195F freighter program. Two new aircraft that are set to revolutionize the cargo/freight sector.
Embraer has decided to pause flight testing and certification of the Embraer 175-E2 for three years in a move that raises further doubts about the future viability of the program.
The efficiency of the wings on any aircraft is vital. And on crossover narrowbody jets a number of design and manufacturing characteristics have brought efficiency levels as competitive as any in any capacity segment.
The introduction of new aircraft types provides an opportunity for airlines, training organisations and training technology providers to put new ideas - be they hardware or software - into practise.
Embraer has unveiled a suite of sustainability initiatives ranging from researching electric and hydrogen propulsion, new regional turboprop and hybrid-electric transport aircraft, and enabling its regional jets to use 100% sustainable aviation fuel.
