| Developed from | Embraer E-Jet family |
The Embraer E-Jet E2 family is a family of narrow-body medium-range twin-engine jet airliners developed by Brazilian aerospace company Embraer, replacing the predecessor Embraer E-Jet family. Launched at the Paris Air Show in 2013,[2] Embraer E-Jets E2 are scheduled for first deliveries in 2018.[1]
Development
In November 2011, Embraer announced that it would focus its attention on developing revamped versions of the E-Jet family, rather than an all-new aircraft, for the time being.[3] The new variants would be better-positioned to compete with the Bombardier CSeries, and would be powered by new engines with larger diameter fans that would offer improvements in specific fuel consumption, as well as slightly taller landing gear and possibly a new aluminum or carbon fiber-based wing. Embraer named this new development "the E-jets second generation".[4]
Design
GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce were all possible engine suppliers.[5] In January 2013, Embraer announced it had selected Pratt & Whitney's PW1000G Geared Turbofan engine as the exclusive power for its new second generation of the E-Jet aircraft family.[6]
Honeywell Primus Epic 2 was selected as the avionics package.[4]
Moog Inc was selected to supply the Primary Flight Control System.[7]
Variants
E175-E2
The E175-E2 model in the 80-seat range is the smallest in the E-Jet Second Generation family. The E175-E2 was extended by one seat row, compared to the current generation E-175, will seat up to 88 passengers, and is scheduled for first delivery in 2020.
E190-E2
The E190-E2 keeps the same size as the E-190, of up to 106 seats. The E190-E2 is expected to enter service in the first half of 2018.
E195-E2
The E195-E2, compared to the current E-195, has grown three seat rows and will accommodate up to 132 seats. The E195-E2 is slated to enter service in 2019.
