For the first time, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer is providing insights into its turboprop project. Despite the failed takeover of Boeing, this is to be realized with new partners from Asia for commissioning by 2027. While the cabin is closely based on the E-Jet, the rest of the shape of the aircraft is reminiscent of a revival of the company's former regional aircraft, the Embraer 120. With a passenger volume of between 80 and 100 seats, Embraer wants to position itself above the competing models of competitors from ATR, Bombardier and Ilyushin. Insiders expect an official project launch under the name "E3" in the coming months in order to enter into concrete sales talks with potential buyers soon. In view of the global aviation crisis with massive passenger declines and shifts in the air traffic markets due to the corona pandemic, Embraer's turboprop project could arouse great interest among airlines.
In the Spotify podcast, Embraer's deputy head of marketing, Rodrigo Silva e Souza, provides further insights and outlooks on the project: Link to Spotify
