Embraer E-Jet family

The Embraer E-Jet family is a series of twin-engine regional jet airliners developed by Embraer, comprising the E170, E175, E190, and E195.

Embraer E170: The smallest first-generation E-Jet, a twin-engine regional airliner introduced into service in 2004. It established the family’s smaller-capacity end and entered service first.
Regional jet: A jet airliner designed primarily for shorter routes and lower passenger volumes than typical mainline aircraft. The E-Jets broadened the capacity range traditionally associated with regional jets.
Regional airline: An airline focused on shorter routes, often connecting smaller cities with major aviation hubs. Regional airlines have been among the E-Jets’ principal operators.
Bombardier CRJ series: A family of twin-engine regional jet airliners developed by Bombardier and later produced by Mitsubishi Aircraft. The CRJs competed with E-Jets for regional airline fleet orders.
Embraer E175: A stretched member of the first-generation E-Jet family, designed to carry more passengers than the E170. Its modest stretch made it especially suited to North American regional airline operations.
Aircraft family: A group of aircraft models sharing a common design, systems, and production lineage. The E-Jets use shared design and systems across several fuselage lengths.
Airline hub: An airport where an airline concentrates connecting flights to transfer passengers between routes. E-Jets can feed passengers into hub networks on routes too thin for larger aircraft.
Airbus A220: A family of narrowbody twin-engine jet airliners originally developed as the Bombardier CSeries. The A220 overlaps larger E-Jet markets while offering greater capacity and range.
Embraer E190: A larger first-generation E-Jet airliner that entered service in 2005, seating roughly 100 passengers in typical layouts. It extended the family into markets served by larger regional and smaller mainline jets.
Commonality (aircraft design): The use of shared components, procedures, and systems across different aircraft models. Shared cockpit and system features help airlines operate multiple E-Jet variants.
