The Embraer E-Jets are an aircraft family from the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer . They are twin-engine, short - haul aircraft for 80 to 124 passengers. The family includes the Embraer 170 , 175 , 190 and 195 versions as well as the Lineage 1000 business travel version , which have largely identical systems and differ only in terms of fuselage length and passenger capacity.
history
In response to the German Dornier 728/928 , Embraer announced the Embraer 170 and 190 types in February 1999. The program was officially launched on June 14, 1999 at the Paris Air Show with the Swiss regional airline Crossair as its first customer. Crossair, at that time the European market leader in the regional segment with over 80 aircraft, surprisingly switched from Dornier to Embraer after Lufthansa had already announced an order with Dornier. The reason for Crossair's preference was that some of Dornier's promises regarding weight and range seemed far less plausible than Embraer's calculations. In addition, Embraer was able to develop the aircraft from its own resources and the profits of the Embraer ERJ-145 family , while Dornier was dependent on external donors. The aircraft family was also tailored to Crossair's needs from the start. For the smallest variant, for example, this included the ability to land on short runways such as Lugano and London City . The Embraer 170 was the first member of this family of aircraft, rolled out on October 29, 2001 and flew for the first time on February 19, 2002. Certification followed in February 2004, followed by deliveries to first customers LOT , US from March of the same year Airways and Alitalia was started. For the history of the other types, see the " Variants " section.
The relatively long but narrow double-circle fuselage with two-plus-two seating instead of the two-plus-three seating implemented by Dornier is characteristic of the aircraft family.
For a long time, these Embraer regional jets were unrivaled after Dornier had to file for bankruptcy despite the takeover by Fairchild and thereby stop the actually more modern 728/928 program. The only remaining competitors, Bombardier's CRJ700 / 900 , meanwhile sold significantly worse due to the lower level of comfort, but were able to win orders again due to the lower kerosene consumption.
On December 13, 2008, Embraer announced the delivery of the 500th e-jet, followed on September 15, 2013 by the 1000th e-jet, an E175 for Republic Airways . The 1500th E-Jet was delivered on December 18, 2018. Horizon Air , a subsidiary of Alaska Airlines , received an E175.
Commonality
Similar to the Airbus family concept , the other versions of this family (Embraer 175, Embraer 190 and Embraer 195) are only derivatives of the basic type Embraer 170. The Embraer 170 and 175 have up to 95% structural similarity, the technical similarities with Embraer 190/195 are 85%.
variants
The Embraer E-Jets family consists of the following four versions, with the second generation already in the works. These types operate under the abbreviation -E2.
Embraer 170
The Embraer 170 was the first version of the new E-Jets series. The roll-out took place on October 29, 2001, the first flight on February 19, 2002. This variant was approved in February 2004.
In the Embraer 170 (actually 170-100) there is room for 70 passengers in two-class seating, with narrower seating up to 80. Deliveries to customers began in March 2004. The Italian Alitalia , the Polish LOT , and the french hop! , Fuji Dream Airlines , Finnair and the Egyptian Egyptair this type of aircraft. In Germany, Cirrus Airlines was the first regional operator to operate this type. According to the manufacturer, there were 193 firm orders for this sample in July 2009. The main competitors were and are the Bombardier CRJ700 and the Suchoi Superjet 100/75 .
Since the machine was also ordered by BA CityFlyer , which flies to London City Airport , the machine has also been approved for the steep approach applicable there since 2007 (landing with a 5.5 instead of 3 ° descent angle).
Embraer 175
The next larger version is the Embraer 175 (actually 170-200), a 1.78 m stretched version of the Embraer 170-100. Two more fuselage segments were added, one 83.8 cm in front of the wings and one 94 cm behind. The first flight took place on June 14, 2003, the certification in Brazil received this type in December 2004. Deliveries to customers began in July 2005, the first customer was Air Canada .
In the Embraer 175 there is room for 78 passengers in standard seating, and up to 88 in narrower seating. 189 units of this type have been ordered so far (as of September 30, 2011). The main competitors were and are the Bombardier CRJ700 and the Suchoi Superjet 100/75 .
Embraer 190
The Embraer 190 (-100) was rolled out on February 6, 2004. Certification took place in August 2005. The first delivery to the first customer, the US airline JetBlue , took place in mid-September 2005. Even before the delivery of the first aircraft, Embraer announced an additional variant in January 2005. The 190 AR ( Advanced Range ) should have a higher maximum permitted take-off and landing weight and thus a range up to 300 nautical miles higher through structural reinforcements of the fuselage and changes to the wings . On February 2, 2010, the type received approval for steep approaches , such as those required at London City Airport .
The Embraer 190 seats 98 passengers in two-class seating, and up to 118 passengers with narrower seating. According to the manufacturer, as of September 30, 2011, 531 firm orders had been placed for aircraft of this type, 100 of them for JetBlue alone and 45 for the Air Canada and 15 for Copa Airlines . Main competitors are and were the Airbus A318 , the Boeing 717 , the Boeing 737-600, the Bombardier CRJ900 and the Suchoi Superjet 100/95 .
Embraer Lineage 1000
On May 2, 2006, Embraer announced plans to develop a business jet based on the 190 series that would have a much longer range and enable 19 passengers to travel in luxury. The 190 series received additional approval from EASA and ANAC in December 2008 and from the FAA on January 9, 2009 . The equipment of the aircraft is similar to that of other company aircraft such as the Global 5000 or an A318ACJ . The jet is quieter than the Boeing 737BBJ due to its smaller engines and can therefore also fly to airports that are not approved for other jets due to their higher noise emissions. The Embraer Lineage 1000 also has a shorter runway than comparable aircraft. An advantage of this type compared to pure business aircraft types is that already trained Embraer pilots can switch to it without any major problems, as its cockpit is similar to the other variants of the E-Jet series.
Embraer 195
The Embraer 195 (actually 190-200) is a stretched version of the Embraer 190-100 type. Another fuselage segment was added in front of and behind the wings. This variant completed its maiden flight on December 7, 2004. Certification of this type by the Brazilian Aviation Authority (ANAC) took place on June 30, 2006. In January 2005, Embraer announced a variant before the first aircraft was delivered. The 195 AR ( Advanced Range ) should have a higher maximum permitted take-off and landing weight due to structural reinforcements of the fuselage and changes to the wings, and thus have a range that is up to 300 nautical miles longer.
In the Embraer 195, there is room for 108 passengers in two-class seating, with narrower seating up to 126. For this type there are currently (as of September 30, 2011) 110 firm orders and 36 options, a large part of them for Germans Lufthansa . Main competitors are and were the Airbus A318 , the Boeing 717 , the Bombardier CRJ900 and the Suchoi Superjet 100/95 .
The first machine of this type was delivered to the British airline Flybe on September 1, 2006 . In 2009, Deutsche Lufthansa AG received five aircraft of this type with seating for 116 passengers for its wholly owned subsidiary Air Dolomiti . The Lufthansa franchisee Augsburg Airways received another five identical aircraft and the in-house Lufthansa CityLine already operates some of these aircraft, but these will be handed over to Austrian Airlines from the end of 2015 . From January 4, 2016 (first flight) until the end of 2017, AUA will replace its 21-year-old Fokker fleet (80 to 100-seater), all of which were sold for a total of 14 million euros to the Australian aircraft charter company Alliance Aviation Services Limited . The 120-seater E195 is said to be the most economical aircraft type in the market segment and require 18% less fuel per seat than the Fokker.

Incidents
So far there have been three total write-offs of Embraer E-Jets:
- An Embraer 190 of the Chinese Henan Airlines ( aircraft registration number B-3130 ) missed the runway at Yichun Airport by around 900 meters on Henan Airlines flight 8387 on August 24, 2010 in thick fog. It broke in two on landing and immediately caught fire. 44 of the 91 passengers and 5 crew members died, the remaining 52 people were injured, some seriously.
- An Embraer 190 (registration number C9-EMC ) of the Mozambican airline LAM crashed on November 29, 2013 on the way from Mozambique's capital Maputo to the Angolan capital Luanda in a wildlife park in northeastern Namibia near the border with Angola and Botswana . All 27 passengers and six crew members on board Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique flight 470 were killed. The machine was deliberately brought down by the captain. When the co-pilot left the cockpit, the captain set the autopilot to ground level and locked the cockpit door for the co-pilot.
- An Aeroméxico Connect Embraer 190 with the registration number XA-GAL had an accident on July 31, 2018. The machine crashed shortly after take-off in Durango . 85 of the 103 occupants were injured (see Aeroméxico Connect flight 2431 ) .

Further development to the E2 series
.jpg)
The extensive revision of the aircraft family primarily affects the new PW1700G and PW1900G engines from Pratt & Whitney with geared turbofan . In order to be able to install these larger engines, the landing gear was raised. Due to the higher power of the engines, the fuselage can also be stretched. The wings were also redeveloped as part of this facelift, with the individual versions receiving individual wing profiles. The fly-by-wire system, originally kept simple, was also modernized and expanded as part of this upgrade. The versions E175-E2 with one row more seats than the previous E175, E190-E2 in unchanged length and E195-E2 with three more rows of seats have been further developed. The smallest variant, Embraer 170, is no longer available in the revised version.
On February 25, 2016 took place at the headquarters of Sao Jose dos Campos , the rollout of the E190-E2 instead. The first test flights of the E2 were completed in May 2016, earlier than planned, at the company airport in São José dos Campos. A total of 263 firm orders for the E190-E2 had already been placed in February 2016.
Embraer does not expect approval and commissioning of the E175-E2 until 2023. This is due , among other things, to the corona crisis three years later than planned . According to the manufacturer, the reason for this is the continuing demand for the previous E175 generation. In addition, there is a limit to the maximum take-off weight of just under 39 tons for regional aircraft in the USA. However, the E175-E2 has a possible takeoff weight of over 44 tons.
The first E190-E2 was delivered to Widerøe's Flyveselskap on April 4th, 2018 . The Norwegian regional airline has ordered a total of three and is thus also using a jet aircraft for the first time in its history .
First delivery of the E195-E2 to Azul Linhas Aereas on September 17, 2019 (serial number: 19020018, registration number: PR-PJN).
