Embraer next-generation turboprop

The Embraer next-generation turboprop was a concept for a new family of regional airliners powered by turboprop engines, studied by Embraer as a companion to its E-Jet E2 jets. In 2019 the company was weighing a family seating 50 to 70 passengers, which by 2020 had grown to 70 to 100 seats, and conceptual images in October 2020 showed a high-wing layout with a fuselage similar to the E-Jet and a T-tail. A later configuration in August 2021 moved to quieter aft-mounted engines. Embraer aimed the design at 1.5 to 2 hour flights of 500 to 700 nautical miles against older ATR and Dash 8 aircraft, and projected a fuel saving per seat over the ATR 72 and the Dash 8-400. Embraer chief executive Francisco Gomes Neto announced in November 2025 that the project had been cancelled, so no aircraft was ever built.
