Embraer’s E195-E2 ‘Tech Lion’ impresses in global tour.


The E195-E2 is Brazilian aircraft manufacturer’s biggest model, with up to 146 seats for passengers
The E195-E2, the biggest aircraft developed by Brazilian manufacturer Embraer, began its global demonstration tour at the Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport on July 8, 2019.

The tour follows a successful debut of the airplane at June’s Paris Air Show, where the company displayed its largest jet in its impressive eye catching “TechLion” livery.

John Slattery, president and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, said the single-aisle E195-E2 is “the ideal aircraft” for growing regional businesses and complements existing low-cost and mainline fleets.
Its maximum range is 4,815 km with a full passenger load. Airlines may choose to configure the cabin in two classes with 120 seats or a single class with up to 146 seats, the report said.
In April, the E195-E2 received type certification from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency.
As one of the leading manufacturers of commercial jets of up to 150 seats, Embraer has delivered more than 8,000 aircraft since its founding in 1969.

While featuring similar performance figures to those of the original E195, the E195-E2 carries more payload and burns 25.4% less fuel per seat. Its maximum range extends 2,600 nautical miles with a full passenger load, or 600 nm more than the E195, and it carries three more rows of seats.

Aviation Roundtable will keep tabs on this impressive aircraft as it continue on it's world tour with updated report as it unfolds.
