The EMB 120 Brasilia is a twin-turboprop commuter airliner seating 30 passengers, designed and built by Embraer as the larger successor to the Bandeirante. Development began in 1974 as a modular family of aircraft, but the design was reworked in 1979 using feedback from US commuter operators, and the Brasilia name dates from that relaunch. It has a circular fuselage, straight low-mounted wings and a T-tail. The prototype flew on 27 July 1983 and Atlantic Southeast Airlines put the first aircraft into service in October 1985, after which it spread quickly among regional airlines, especially in the United States. A VIP version, the VC-97, served the Brazilian Air Force. Production ended in 2001, and the Brasilia was the last turboprop airliner Embraer built.
