Embraer E2 (E-Jet)

History

Embraer's "E-Jet" E2 series of narrow-body aircraft is scheduled to be launched in 2018, with airlines in Brazil, the United States, India and China to enter service with approximately 325 firm orders. The E2 series continues the company's An early E-Jet product, and sold under three different brands, with different overall lengths, wing assemblies and interior layouts to determine the number of seats.

The aircraft family will be equipped with the latest avionics (Honeywell Primus "Epic 2") and fly-by-wire (FBW) controls, with its Pratt & Whitney PW1000G geared turbofan pairing for greater efficiency.

The E2 series was officially launched by Embraer at the 50th Paris Air Show. The product is designed to compete directly with Jets' Bombardier CSeries in the same field globally - scheduled to launch sometime in mid-2016. Both have a similar exterior layout with two engine nacelles mounted below.

Currently, the E2 family includes the E175-E2, which can seat around 80 to 90 passengers, while the E190-E2 can seat up to 114 passengers, with the 144-seat E195-E2 to follow.
