The Embraer E190-E2 is the second generation of Embraer's E-Jet family, developed as a re-engined and aerodynamically refined successor to the original E190. It features new Pratt & Whitney PW1900G geared turbofan engines, a new wing design with winglets, and updated fly-by-wire flight controls, delivering significantly improved fuel efficiency over its predecessor. The aircraft is designed to carry between 96 and 114 passengers in a typical two-class configuration, serving thin regional and medium-haul routes with a range of approximately 5,278 km. The E190-E2 shares a common type rating with the E195-E2, reducing training costs for operators. Embraer markets the E2 family as the most efficient single-aisle aircraft in its class per seat. The aircraft entered commercial service in 2018 and competes primarily with the Airbus A220 family on regional and thin-haul markets worldwide.

Encyclopaedia

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 44.6 to 62.5 t, and cover a range of 2,000–3,000 nmi.
