Embraer E-170 Tribute

A tribute to the SEXY Embraer E-170 and the E-175!

The Embraer E-Jets line is composed of two main commercial families and a business jet variant. The smaller E-170 and E-175 make up the base model aircraft, with the E-190 and E-195 being stretched versions, with different engines and larger wing and landing gear structures. The 170 and 175 share 95% commonality, as do the 190 and 195. The two families share near 89% commonality, with identical fuselage cross-sections and avionics, featuring the Honeywell Primus Epic EFIS suite.
Although commonly referred to with simply an "E" prefix, the jets are technically still Embraer Regional Jets ("ERJ"s).[7] Embraer dropped the ERJ prefix in its advertising early in production. The E-190/195 series of aircraft have similar capacities to the initial versions of the DC-9 and Boeing 737, which have always been considered mainline airliners. Embraer developed an innovative "double-bubble" design for its commercial passenger jet airplanes that provides stand-up headroom. Embraer E-Jets use four-abreast seating.
The launch customers for the aircraft were the French Régional Compagnie Aérienne Européenne with ten orders and five options for the E-170, and the Swiss Crossair with an order for 30 E-170s and 30 E-190s.[8] The largest single order for any type of E-Jets has come from JetBlue with 100 orders for the E-190, and options for 100 more.[9] JetBlue set the record for the longest flight of the E190 family on November 6, 2008, when aircraft N239JB made a non-stop flight from Anchorage, Alaska (ANC) to Buffalo, New York (BUF), a total of 2,694 nmi (4,989 km). This was an empty aircraft on a non-revenue flight, the aircraft eventually returning to JFK after a two-month-long charter service with Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.[10]

The E-170/E-175 family is the smaller of the two E-Jet families. The E-170 and E-175 directly compete with the Bombardier CRJ-700 and Bombardier CRJ-900, respectively. They also loosely compete with the turboprop Bombardier Q400. It also seeks to replace the market segment occupied by earlier competing designs such as the BAe 146 and Fokker 70. The 170 and 175 are powered with GE CF34-8E engines of 14,200 pounds (62.28 kN) thrust each.
The Embraer 170 was the first version produced. The prototype was rolled out on 29 October 2001, with first flight 119 days later on February 19. The aircraft was displayed to the public in May 2002 at the Regional Airline Association convention. After a positive response from the airline community, Embraer launched the E-175. First flight of the stretched E-175 was on June 2003.[11] Certification for the 170 took nearly 2 years after the public debut; delivery of the first E170 aircraft to the launch customer LOT Polish Airlines was in March 2004.[12] The first E-175 was delivered to Air Canada and entered service in July
