Embraer E-Jet E2 family

The Embraer E-Jet E2 family is the second generation of the E-Jet narrow-body regional airliners, an incremental development that adopts the more fuel-efficient Pratt & Whitney PW1900G geared turbofan, fly-by-wire controls, new avionics and a redesigned wing for each of its three variants. The programme was launched at the Paris Air Show in June 2013, and the first variant, the E190-E2, made its maiden flight on 23 May 2016. It was certified on 28 February 2018 and entered service with Widerøe on 24 April, while the larger E195-E2 was certified in April 2019 with Azul Brazilian Airlines as its first operator. The E175-E2 has been delayed past 2027 for lack of demand, because US scope clauses stop regional airlines buying it. The two larger models compete with the Airbus A220 family.
