HISTORY
American Eagle Embraer ERJ-175LR registration N407YX.
The Embraer E Jet family of aircraft which include the ERJ (Embraer Regional Jet) 170, ERJ 175, ERJ 190 and ERJ 195, are designed as regional jet airliners. Their smaller size and smaller quieter engines mean they are ideal for flying between smaller regional airfields where traffic volumes are lower and runways are shorter.
However, they are not just consigned to country regions as this might indicate. The quietness of their engines means they are also ideal for operating into metropolitan airfields such as London City Airport where noise abatement and curfew restrictions apply.
With the introduction of the ERJ 170 and ERJ 175 aircraft (see our history section), Embraer was continuing to strengthen it presence in the Regional Jet niche market where its main competition comes from Canadian plane maker, Bombardier now taken over by Mitsubishi. With the addition of the ERJ 190 and ERJ 195 aircraft to this family, Embraer is now making a foray into the mainline airliner market. These two additional aircraft types are now competing with the Boeing 737 600 and the Airbus A318 airliners.
Alitalia Embraer E-175 Named Parco Nazionale Dello Stelvio registration EI-RDB.
Embraers' E Jet series of aircraft is aimed at the short-haul commuter market as well as the private or business jet market.
There are four variants split into two groups, the ERJ 170 / ERJ 175 and the ERJ 190 / ERJ 195. ERJ stands for Embraer Regional Jet.
All variants share the same fuselage dimensions as far as height and width are concerned. The differences between all of them are the fuselage length and therefore of course passenger carrying capacity.
The difference between the Embraer 170 and Embraer 190 series is the wing size, fuel capacity, and therefore range, and power of the engines. See our Specs section below for more detail.
SPECIFICATIONS
For each of the ERJ variants, there are additional options for airline customers depending on the routes to which they want to apply the airliner.
Each variant comes in a standard version but in addition, they can also be optioned as an LR - Long Range option, or an AR - Advanced Range option. The LR version gives additional range as one would expect with the same payload specs as the standard version. The AR, on the other hand, gives the extended range but in addition, it is also strengthened to enable it to carry more payload over that extended range. This allows for higher takeoff and landing weights.
Standard aircraft versions can be retrofitted to up-spec them to either the LR or AR versions.
LOT Polish Airlines Embraer ERJ-175 registration SP-LIN.
At the Paris airshow of 2013, Embraer launched the E Jet E2 family of aircraft which would succeed the current E Jet family, with the first delivery of the E2 scheduled for 2018.
The E2 series includes the ERJ-175-E2, the ERJ-190-E2, and the ERJ-195-E2. These new aircraft will feature updated wings and Pratt & Whitney's PW1000G Geared Turbofan engines. Passenger capacity will be increased for the ERJ 175 E2 by one row of seats and the ERJ 195 E2 by 3 rows while the ERJ 190 E2 will remain the same as the current ERJ 190 model.
The accent is on economy with a redesigned wing and the PW1000G engine being integral to this.

The Embraer family of E jets is a low-wing single-aisle airliner produced by the Embraer company in São José dos Campos, São Paulo State in Brazil.
Embraer was started by the Brazilian government to provide aircraft for the local market and was called Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica (Embraer). It wasn't until 1975 that they started selling to international markets leading in with a small turbo propeller aircraft the Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante.
Since those days, Embraer has established itself as a major player in the global airliner production industry. Currently, they fight the Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier and their CRJ series(bought by Mitsubishi) for third place behind Boeing and Airbus.
History.
Lufthansa CityLine Embraer ERJ-195LR registration D-AEBE named Zwiesel.
In 1997 Embraer announced they were looking to produce a new range of jetliners in the 70-seat capacity market.
The initial idea was to use features of the ERJ range of aircraft and enhance these for the new design. The nose and cockpit of the ERJ would be attached to an all-new fuselage and wing design.
By February 1999 the idea of incorporating the ERJ components into the new design was abandoned. The Embraer E Jet series would be a new design altogether.
The history timeline below illustrates the development and progress of this very popular range of jetliners.

The E Jet cabin is configured as 4 seats per row with two on either side of the single aisle.
When looking at the fuselage from the front, the profile shape is that of an egg, but with its widest part toward the top rather than the middle.
The oval shape allows for adequate headroom for standing passengers in a cabin that is only 4 seats wide. The widest part of the oval being higher rather than in the middle allows for more comfortable shoulder room as well as more generous overhead baggage space.
