¡El NUEVO Embraer E2 DESTRUIRÁ Toda la Industria de la Aviación!
Video from the channel Aviatrix en Español about Embraer, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 10:32. Language: Spanish. Video type: Documentary.
What it's about
The video presents Embraer's E2 family, the second generation of its regional jets, and argues it can gain ground against Boeing and Airbus in the under-150-seat segment. It covers the company, the aircraft's variants, its efficiency arguments and the effect European climate policies could have on demand.
Historical context
Embraer is a Brazilian aerospace manufacturer founded in 1969 that produces commercial, agricultural and military aircraft; the video ranks it as the world's third-largest commercial aircraft maker, behind Boeing and Airbus. The E2 family is an evolution of the E-Jets unveiled at the 2013 Paris Air Show and entered service in April 2018 with Norwegian regional airline Widerøe, which was the launch operator of the E190-E2.
Key facts
The family comprises the E175-E2, whose development was put on hold, the E190-E2, with up to 114 seats in a single class, and the E195-E2, the largest, with up to 146. All are fitted with Pratt & Whitney PW1900G geared turbofans, which the video credits with 17.3% more efficiency than the previous generation. It adds that they are quieter than their competitors, cites a button for steep approaches on short runways, and a test flight with 100% sustainable fuel. As demand drivers it cites the French proposal to ban short flights replaceable by train, the capacity cut at Amsterdam Airport, and a Belgian tax on old, noisy or private aircraft.
