Embraer new aircraft programs

Additionally, he explained that Embraer is looking to attract business partners and not just suppliers for the new turboprop program. Nonetheless, he feels that emerging propulsion technologies will first be in use by planes that hold up to 50 seats. Altogether, this turboprop project is an exciting development for Embraer. It has been 35 years since the company introduced its previous passenger variant of the type. Therefore, it will also be thrilled about working on such a program once again.

Market needs are changing amid sustainability efforts and shifts in passenger demand. The wreckage was found few hours later and the pilot, sole on board, was killed. Registration: AEE Location: Quevedo. Crew on board: 8. Circumstances: For unknown reasons, the aircraft made a wheels up landing at Quevedo Airport. While all 8 occupants escaped uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Type of aircraft: Beechcraft Super King Air. Flight Type: Training. Site: City. Schedule: San Vicente - Quito. MSN: BB Location: Quito-Mariscal Sucre Tababela. Crew on board: 5. Total fatalities: 7. Circumstances: The crew four pilots under supervision and one instructor departed San Vicente on a training flight to Quito-Mariscal Sucre Airport. On approach in foggy conditions, the twin engine aircraft descended too low, collided with a 4-floor building and crashed 4 km short of runway.

All five occupants as well as two people on the ground were killed and four other people on the ground were seriously injured. Type of aircraft: Fokker F28 Fellowship. Schedule: Quito — Coca. Flight number: ICD Crew on board: 4. Circumstances: During the takeoff roll from runway 25 at Quito-Mariscal Sucre Airport, the crew noted a fire alarm connected to the forward cargo compartment.

The captain decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and initiated an emergency braking manoeuvre. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran, collided with the ILS antenna, went down an embankment then impacted a brick wall and came to rest metres past the runway end. All 66 occupants were rescued, among them eight passengers were injured.

Probable cause: Failure of the crew to follow the published procedures following a fire alarm, as stated in the Operations Manual and the late application of the procedures once the decision to abort the takeoff was taken. Embraer has filed trademark applications covering its Energia family of new aircraft that could enter service between and Image: Embraer.

DeHavilland to Power New-Build Dash 8 Regional Airliners With Hydrogen Under a provisional agreement with ZeroAvia, the Canadian airframer intends to deliver hydrogen-powered versions of its twin turboprop airliner, as well as being able to retrofit existing in-service aircraft with the next five years. Very comfortable, no middle seats and spacious overhead bins," Affonso said. With game-changing characteristics, this turboprop will replace the current seat regional jets in very important markets.

Affonso also discussed his belief that turboprops have effectively "disappeared" over the last two decades from new aircraft designs and development programs targeting regional airlines because passengers view them as too small, noisy, and uncomfortable. The rear engine-mounted turboprop was one of several next-generation designs discussed by Affonso, including an electric military transport aircraft concept called STOUT and an electric vertical takeoff and landing eVTOL aircraft that Embraer is targeting for its first flight of around Embraer's single-engine electric demonstrator aircraft performed its first flight a few days prior to their second-quarter earnings call and webcast.

Embraer is also researching the technical, economical, and supply chain aspects of designing a hydrogen-powered aircraft, with Affonso noting that their roadmap "considers a hydrogen-powered test vehicle first flight by
