The '''Embraer E-Jet E2 family''' is a series of four-abreast narrow-body regional jet airliners designed and produced by the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer. The twinjet is an incremental development of the original E-Jet family, adopting the more fuel-efficient Pratt & Whitney PW1900G, a geared turbofan engine. The aircraft family comprises three variants that share the same fuselage cross-section with different lengths and feature three different redesigned wings, fly-by-wire controls with new avionics, and an updated cabin. The variants offer maximum take-off weights from {{cvt|44.6|to|62.5|t|lb}}, and cover a range of {{cvt|2000|-|3000|nmi}}.

The program was launched at the Paris Air Show in June 2013. The first variant, the E190-E2, made its maiden flight on 23 May 2016 and flight testing proceeded to schedule with little issue. It received certification on 28 February 2018 before entering service with launch customer Widerøe on 24 April. Certification of the larger E195-E2 was received during April 2019; Azul Brazilian Airlines was the first airline to operate this model. The smaller E175-E2 was originally set to be delivered in 2021, but has been delayed past 2027 due to a lack of demand. Regional airlines in the United States were a major customer of the first-generation of E-Jets, however scope clause agreements have prevented them from purchasing the heavier E175-E2.

The E-190 E2 and E-195 E2 variants compete with the Airbus A220 family aircraft, particularly its smaller A220-100 variant. {{As of|2026|4}}, a total of 489 E-Jet E2s have been ordered with 203 delivered and in commercial service.

==Development== ===Background=== During the early 2010s, the regional jets segment of the international airliner market grew more competitive with the announcement of the Airbus A320neo and the Boeing 737 MAX, thus it was thought that Embraer would have to respond or else lose the competitiveness of the E-Jet family through inaction.<ref name="flyingeng 2013" /> In 2010, Embraer was reportedly considering directly challenging the Bombardier CSeries (now A220) by developing a clean-sheet five-abreast airliner for 100 to 150 passengers. The alternative option was to somehow improve the E-Jet family to maintain its attractiveness to customers.<ref name="flyingeng 2013">{{Cite web |date=21 October 2013 |title=The shaping of Embraer's Second Generation E-Jets: "E2" |url=https://theflyingengineer.com/2013/10/21/the-shaping-of-embraers-second-generation-e-jets-e2/ |publisher=theflyingengineer.com}}</ref>

In November 2011, Embraer announced at the Dubai Air Show that it had committed to developing new generation of its E-Jet family.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Trimble |first=Stephen |date=10 November 2011 |title=Embraer commits to re-engined E-Jets |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/embraer-commits-to-re-engined-e-jets-364603/ |publisher=Flightglobal}}</ref> This option was both lower risk and lower cost than pursuing a clean sheet design.<ref name="flyingeng 2013" /> At the time, Embraer reportedly foresaw a demand for 6,400 commercial jets with capacity of up to 130 seats over the following 20 years. The smallest of the new variants, the ''E-175-E2'', seats up to 88 passengers in a single class configuration, the medium-sized ''E-190-E2'' seats up to 120 passengers, while the largest model, the ''E-195-E2'' seats up to 150 passengers.<ref name="flyingeng 2013" /> During the late 2000s, Embraer had studied an aircraft of such capacity, dubbed the ''E-195X'', but had discarded the concept in 2010 in light of degraded aircraft performance in the absence of a re-engine. On account of its poor sales and decreasing demand for 70 seat jets, a redesigned counterpart to the E-170 was not pursued.<ref name="flyingeng 2013" />

One key feature of these new variants would be more efficient engines with larger diameter fans; several large engine manufacturers, GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce, were all evaluated by Embraer as possible suppliers.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ostrower |first=Jon |date=20 March 2012 |title=E-Jet revamp promises three-way engine 'dogfight' |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/istat-2012-e-jet-revamp-promises-three-way-engine-dogfight-369694/ |publisher=Flightglobal}}</ref> During January 2013, it was announced the Pratt & Whitney PW1000G, a geared turbofan, had been selected to be the exclusive engine of the E2.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Polek |first=Gregory |date=14 January 2013 |title=Embraer Turns True Believer in Pratt's GTF |url=http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/aerospace/2013-01-14/embraer-turns-true-believer-pratts-gtf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201020121628/https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/aerospace/2013-01-14/embraer-turns-true-believer-pratts-gtf |archive-date=20 October 2020 |access-date=20 May 2016 |work=AINonline}}</ref> Embraer commercial aircraft president Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva noted that the PW1000G was the best suited engine for the performance sought by customers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=8 January 2013 |title=Embraer To Re-engine E-Jets with Geared Turbofan |url=https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/2013-01-08/embraer-re-engine-e-jets-geared-turbofan |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220908132446/https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/2013-01-08/embraer-re-engine-e-jets-geared-turbofan |archive-date=8 September 2022 |access-date=5 June 2023 |publisher=AIN Online}}</ref> The selection of the PW1000G is likely to have been eased by the parallel development of the smaller PW1200G engine for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet as well as the larger and more mature PW1500G for the Airbus A220.<ref name="flyingeng 2013" />

The E2 family made various improvements in its performance, such as a reduced specific fuel consumption, lower emissions and noise output, minimised maintenance costs, along with the use of a new aluminum or carbon fiber-based wing.<ref name="mobeng 2016" /> These wings had a higher aspect ratio, a longer wingspan, and were equipped with raked wingtips instead of winglets.<ref name="flyingeng 2013" /> In early 2013, Embraer referred to this project as being "the E-jets second generation".<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Embraer Selects Pratt & Whitney's PurePower Engines for Second Generation of E-Jets |date=8 January 2013 |publisher=Embraer |location=São José dos Campos |url=http://www.embraer.com/en-US/ImprensaEventos/Press-releases/noticias/Pages/Embraer-seleciona-os-motores-PurePower-da-Pratt-E-Whitney-para-a-segunda-geracao-de-E-Jets.aspx}}</ref> During June 2013, the $1.7 billion program was launched at the Paris Air Show, citing strong customer demand.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Haynes |first=Brad |date=17 June 2013 |title=Embraer launches next E-Jets to strong demand, SkyWest orders up to $9.4 billion |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-airshow-embraer-idUSBRE95G09W20130617 |access-date=19 June 2013 |publisher=Reuters |location=Paris}}</ref><ref>{{Cite press release |title=Embraer Launches "E2", the Second Generation of E-Jets |date=17 June 2013 |publisher=Embraer |location=Paris |url=http://www.embraer.com/en-US/ImprensaEventos/Press-releases/noticias/Pages/Embraer-lanca-E2-a-segunda-geracao-de-EJets.aspx}}</ref>

The development programme made extensive use of digital model simulations and static test rigs, enabling rapid progress to be made early on.<ref name="mobeng 2016" /> By May 2016, less than three years after being launched, the E2 had 640 commitments from various airlines and leasing companies, 267 of which were firm orders while 373 were options and purchase rights.<ref name="mobeng 2016" />

The airplane was slightly below expected weight and the other two E190-E2 prototypes should fly within a year.<ref name=Flight24may2016/>

On 8 July 2016, the second prototype made its maiden flight; this initial flight lasted two hours and 55 minutes and was incident-free. The first E-Jet E2 flew from Brazil to Farnborough Airshow just 45 days after its maiden flight, demonstrating maturity and confidence in the design.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=E190 E2 Makes its International Debut at the Farnborough Airshow |date=10 July 2016 |publisher=Embraer |url=http://www.embraer.com/en-US/ImprensaEventos/Press-releases/noticias/Pages/E190-E2-Makes-its-International-Debut-at-the-Farnborough-Airshow.aspx}}</ref> By April 2017, 650 hours of flight tests had been completed and the program was reportedly on schedule.

Inspired by the automotive industry's production of multiple models on the same line, Embraer proposed building the E190/195-E2 alongside the original E175/190/195 at a steady rate of eight aircraft per month by the end of 2018. Production of the original E-Jet family was projected to slow if assembly of the E175-E2 had started in 2021.<ref name="Flight9oct2017">{{Cite news |last=Trimble |first=Stephen |date=9 October 2017 |title=Embraer primes factory for hybrid E-Jet production system |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/analysis-embraer-primes-factory-for-hybrid-e-jet-pr-441684/ |work=Flightglobal}}</ref> As Embraer transitioned from its previous E-jets to the upgraded E2, it was expecting to deliver 85-95 airliners in 2018 with a negative $150 million free cash flow, less than in 2017 with 78 deliveries in the first nine months with a cash outflow of $700 million: return to profitability will take at least three years once the program investment is reduced and the production ramp up is complete.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Derber |first=Alex |date=31 October 2017 |title=Embraer Battles Through E2 Transition |url=http://www.mro-network.com/manufacturing-distribution/embraer-battles-through-e2-transition |work=Aviation Week Network}}</ref> Hybrid stations capable of work on either the E1 or E2 were more automated, moving to 90% automated drilling and riveting for the E2 wing.<ref name=AvWeek20mar2018/>

Elements such as the cabin were examined from a production standpoint relatively early in the design process, which included the involvement of external suppliers as well. Embraer opted for a sole-source solution for the cabin; this approach reportedly enabled more aggressive deals to be secured from key suppliers and thus lowering costs while also easing integration by reducing the number of suppliers involved.<ref name="aviationcabin evolution" />

After type certification, the first E190-E2 was delivered to launch operator Widerøe in April 2018, configured with 114-seat in single-class, followed by deliveries for Air Astana and Chinese GX Airlines. Before the aircraft were delivered, Embraer announced that some of the initial E-Jet E2s will need to be retrofitted due to the shorter life of the combustor in their Pratt & Whitney PW1900G engines. A business class is developed with a 2+2 staggered seat layout offering a seat pitch of up to {{cvt|137|cm|in}}, available from mid-2019.<ref name="Flight5feb2018">{{Cite news |last=Perry |first=Dominic |date=5 February 2018 |title=Initial E-Jet E2s to require engine update |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/singapore-initial-e-jet-e2s-to-require-engine-updat-445500/ |work=Flightglobal}}</ref>

On 23 July 2024, during the Farnborough International Airshow, Embraer announced performance upgrades on the E195-E2. Fuel burn was improved by 2.5%, and the MTOW increased to 62,500 kg. Both of these changes enabled a range increase from 2,600 nmi to 3,000 nmi.<ref name="E195upgrade">{{Cite web |date=23 July 2024 |title= Embraer Reveals Upgrades Across its Commercial E-Jet Range |url= https://www.embraer.com/media-center/en/?mediatype=NEWS&detail=13439-Embraer-Reveals-Upgrades-Across-its-Commercial-E-Jet-Range|publisher= Embraer}}</ref>

The E195-E2 can produce a "whale sound" during takeoff and landing. This occurs when the engine causes the combustion chamber to resonate at a certain frequency. It is a normal behavior, but Embraer has announced that they would redesign the combustion chamber to reduce this effect.<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 October 2023 |title= Did that plane just make a whale sound? |url= https://www.schiphol.nl/en/schiphol-as-a-neighbour/blog/did-that-plane-just-make-a-whale-sound/ |access-date=28 July 2024 | publisher = Amsterdam Airport Schiphol}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCer-YxYQAc |title=Helvetic Embraer 195-E2 beautiful whale sound |date=28 December 2023 |last=Mike Holtackers |access-date= 28 July 2024 |via=YouTube}}</ref>

===Orders and deliveries=== The Embraer E-Jet E2 program was officially launched during the 50th International Paris Air Show held in June 2013, with SkyWest Airlines, a North American regional airline, and International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), a leasing company placing the first firm orders for the aircraft.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Rothman |first1=Andrea |last2=Catts |first2=Tim |last3=Wall |first3=Robert |date=17 June 2013 |title=Embraer Wins 150 Orders as ILFC, SkyWest Buy Newest Jets |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-06-17/embraer-said-to-win-order-for-upgraded-jets-from-ilfc |access-date=28 February 2023 |work=Bloomberg |language=en}}</ref>

ILFC is the launch customer for the Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2, with the leasing company placing a firm order for 25 E190-E2 aircraft and 25 E195-E2 aircraft, with purchase rights for another 25 of each type in 2013.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=ILFC Signs Final Agreement For Up To 100 Embraer E-Jets E2s |date=17 July 2013 |publisher=prnewswire.com |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ilfc-signs-final-agreement-for-up-to-100-embraer-e-jets-e2s-215815801.html |language=en |access-date=12 July 2018}}</ref> ILFC was purchased by AerCap in May 2014.<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 May 2014 |title=AIG Completes $7.6 Billion ILFC Sale to AerCap |url=https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2014/05/15/329296.htm |publisher=insurancejournal.com}}</ref>

Overall, sales for the E-Jet E2 program have been slow. Analysts attribute sluggish orders to the weight of the E175-E2 and the positioning of the E190-E2 “in-between” other models, and Pratt & Whitney's issues with the engine. Embraer has said that it needs to sell 700 aircraft to meet its goals for the program.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hamilton |first=Scott |date=5 December 2023 |title=Pontifications: Embraer sees easing in pilot shortage, wave of sales coming |url=https://leehamnews.com/2023/12/05/pontifications-embraer-sees-easing-in-pilot-shortage-wave-of-sales-coming/ |access-date=25 April 2024 |work=Leeham News and Analysis}}</ref>
