Pictorial from Embraer E190-E2 rollout
Feb. 25, 2016: Embraer rolled out its E190-E2 to a series of fly-bys of EMB aircraft ranging from a crop duster to the KC-390, hundreds of invited guests and media and thousands of its employees.
Here are some photos from the rollout.
E190-E2 No. 1, rolled out Feb. 25, 2016.
The E190-E2 has a new wing, new engines, new landing gear and new empennage.
“I’m going to sell the shit out that airplane,” vows John Slattery, chief commercial officer of Embraer.
Looking down the front of the Pratt & Whitney GTF on the Embraer E190-E2.
A great looking airplane. The new champ in the BIG ENGINE look. Seriously, a handsome aircraft.
What is wider, Engine or fuselage? Lol
Congrats to Embraer. I hope the E2 Future is bright for them.
73″ fan on a 59t aircraft, the cutting edge of big fan efficiency. Compare that to the 69″ fan on the 88t 737-9, the E190 has 65% more fan area per weight.
Considering that the 9 carries almost twice the passengers the fan area per passenger favors the 9. Regardless it’s apples to oranges …
Yes, carrying more passengers per ton is a big advantage for the 737-9. Interesting the fan E190, if it is optimal size, because obviously there is more weight and skin drag and need to position it more forward of the wing.
