History
Market conditions had moved away from an eight-seat aeroplane, so the EMB 100 was quickly reworked into the roomier and more advanced EMB 110. In May 1970 the Brazilian Air Force placed an initial order for eighty production aircraft, the commitment that put the programme on a firm footing. The Brazilian airworthiness certificate followed late in 1972 and the first delivery to the air force took place on 9 February 1973.
