Embraer 170/190 Program

Aero participates on the production of the Embraer 170/190 aircraft since 2007. For its French customer, Latecoere, Aero delivers hinges and inner structures of doors. The assembly line was completed in July 2008. Transfer of complete production, including detail part fabrication, is to be completed in Aero in the second half of 2009.

Embraer 170/190

The Embraer 170/190 family of E-Jets consists of four commercial jets with 70 to 122 seats, featuring advanced engineering design, efficient performance, outstanding operating economics, low emissions levels and a spacious cabin.

The E-Jets can fly at a maximum cruising speed of Mach 0.82 and at 41,000 feet (12,497 meters), with ranges of up to 2,400 nautical miles (4,448 km). The high degree of commonality among the four aircraft results in exceptional reductions for carriers, in terms of crew training, spare parts and maintenance costs. Another key feature of the E-Jets is the fly-by-wire technology used in the flight control systems, similar to that deployed on larger commercial jets and advanced military aircraft.

The Embraer 170/190 family provides superior comfort with its double-bubble fuselage design that includes two main passenger entrances and two service doors that minimize aircraft turn-around time. The E-Jets offer much more space for passengers, in a single or dual-class layout, than other aircraft with similar seating capacities.

The Embraer 170 and 190 aircraft are nowadays the best selling regional transport jet aircraft. The production of the first Embraer 170 prototype was launched in 2001. Among key subcontractors in the program of the Brazilian company of the same name Embraer belong the Japanese company Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Belgian Sonaca and French Latecoere.
