Embraer E-Jet family

The Embraer E-Jet family is a series of four-abreast, narrow-body, short- to medium-range twin-engined jet airliners seating 66 to 124 passengers, much larger than anything Embraer had built before. It was unveiled in early 1997, formally launched at the 1999 Paris Air Show with the E170 and E190, and the first prototype flew on 19 February 2002. LOT Polish Airlines received the first E170 on 17 March 2004, the larger E190 and E195 entered service later that year, and the stretched E175 followed in mid-2005. The jets succeeded by serving lower-demand routes with many of the comforts of larger aircraft, and are especially popular with regional airlines in the United States. The Lineage 1000 business jet is based on the family, and the first-generation E175 remains in production for US carriers restricted by scope clauses.
