Embraer E190 / E195
Illustrative image; it may differ from the actual aircraft.The E190/195 models are larger stretches of the E170/175 models fitted with a new, larger wing, a larger horizontal stabilizer, adding two emergency overwing exits, and a new engine. Embraer 190 is fitted with two underwing-mounted General Electric CF34-10E turbofan engines, rated at 20,360 lbf (90.6 kN). The engines are equipped with full authority digital engine control (FADEC). The fully redundant, computerized management system continuously optimizes the engine performance resulting in reduced fuel consumption and maintenance requirements. The aircraft carries 13,000 kg (29,000 lb) of fuel and is fitted with a Parker Hannifin fuel system. Embraer offered three variants of the E190: the STD (Standard), LR (Long Range) and AR (Advanced Range).

The type first flew in 2004 (22 years ago) · About 900 units built · Still in production
Figures for the type, not for this particular aircraft: each variant and each configuration changes something. They are shown in both systems used in aviation.
The story of the type
The STD served as the base model, while the LR featured a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) that was increased by 2,510 kg (5,530 lb) while the AR featured an MTOW that was further increased by 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) compared to LR, allowing more fuel to be carried. This enhancement extended the range by 50 nmi (93 km; 58 mi).
The aircraft is equipped with a Hamilton Sundstrand auxiliary power unit and electrical system. The GE CF34-10E, customers can choose between 5 different variants (-10E5, -10E5A1, -10E6, -10E6A1, -10E7), each with different performance and capabilities. It is the only powerplant offered for the aircraft. These aircraft compete with the Bombardier CRJ-1000. It can carry up to 100 passengers in a two-class configuration or up to 114 in the single-class high-density configuration.
On 12 March 2004, the first flight of the E190 took place. The launch customer of the E190 was New York-based low-cost carrier JetBlue with 100 orders options in 2003 and took its first delivery in 2005.
Air Canada operated 45 E190 aircraft fitted with 9 business-class and 88 economy-class seats as part of its primary fleet. They were retired in May 2020. American Airlines operated E190s until 2020. JetBlue and Georgian Airways operate the E190 as part of their own fleet.
The largest operator of the type is Alliance Airlines with 64 E190s in the fleet, which mostly took over from American Airlines and JetBlue to serve the Australian regional market. Other operators are Aeroméxico Connect (37), Tianjin Airlines (35), Airlink (29) and KLM Cityhopper (28).
By 2018, early E190s were valued at under US$10 million and could be leased for less than US$100,000 per month, while the most recent aircraft were worth US$30 million and could be leased for less than US$200,000 per month.
Variants
The E170 is the smallest aircraft in the E-Jet family and was the first to enter revenue service in March 2004. As of 2017, the E170 went out of production. The Embraer 170 typically seats around 72 passengers in a typical single class configuration, 66 in a dual class configuration, and up to 78 in a high-density configuration. The E170 directly competed with the Bombardier CRJ700 and loosely with the turboprop Bombardier Q400.
There are four variants of the E170, the E170STD, E170LR, E170SU, and E170SE. The E170STD is the base-line airframe, the E170LR increased its range by having a higher max take off weight (MTOW). The E170SU and E170SE are both based on the E170LR but limits its passenger number to 76 and 70 due to scope clauses.
The jet is powered with General Electric CF34-8E engines of 14,500 lbf (64 kN) thrust each.
The E175 is a slightly stretched version of the E170 and first entered revenue service with launch customer Air Canada in July 2005. The Embraer 175 typically seats around 78 passengers in a typical single-class configuration, 76 in a dual-class configuration, and up to 88 in a high-density configuration. Like the E170, it is powered by General Electric CF34-8E engines of 14,500 lbf (64 kN) of thrust each. It competed with the Bombardier CRJ900 in the market segment previously occupied by the earlier BAe 146 and Fokker 70. As of 2024, it is the only aircraft currently produced in this market segment.
The E175 was initially equipped with the same style of winglets as the rest of the E-Jet family. Starting in 2014, the winglets were made wider and more angled. Those winglets and other changes to the aircraft over time have improved efficiency. Embraer said that aircraft produced after 2017 consume 6.4% less fuel than original E175 aircraft. The angled winglets increase the wingspan from 26 to 28.65 m (85 ft 4 in to 93 ft 11 in). This winglet change was only made available to the E175 and no other models in the family.
There are four different variants of the E175 airframe, E175STD, E175LR, E175SU and E175SC. The E175STD (standard) is the base-line version of the E175, the E175LR (long range) increased its range by having a higher max take off weight (MTOW) and max ramp weight. The E175SU is based on the E175LR but limits its max passenger seating capacity to 76 due to American regional market scope clause limitations. In late 2017, Embraer announced the E175SC (special configuration) or E175LL, officially designated as ERJ 170-200 LL, limited to 70 seats like the E170 to take advantage of the E175 performance improvements but still comply with US airline scope clauses limiting operators to 70 seats. Embraer is marketing the E175SC as a replacement for the older 70-seat Bombardier CRJ700 with better efficiency and a larger first class.
In 2018, a new E175 had a value of US$27 million, projected to fall to US$3–8 million 13 years later due to their concentration in the US with more than 450 in service out of 560, with Republic and SkyWest operating over 120 each, Compass 35 and Envoy Air 90, after the similar experience with the CRJ200 and ERJ 145 demonstrates the limited remarketing opportunities.
As of 2024, the E175 remains in production, with strong demand from regional airlines in the United States, which cannot order the newer but heavier E175-E2 due to scope clause restrictions on maximum takeoff weight.
