Brazilian based aircraft manufacturing giant, Embraer is set to arrive with a strong presence at the forthcoming Farnborough International Airshow, the most significant aviation and aerospace event of the year billed to take place from July 22-26, 2024.
At the event, Embraer will debut the brand-new E-Freighter, the E190F, marking its first public appearance. The company is currently experiencing very positive momentum across all businesses as it begins celebrating its 55th anniversary.
Embraer’s lineup at the show highlights its leading portfolio of aircraft for commercial aviation and defense, which includes the E195-E2, the world’s most efficient and quietest narrowbody; the E190F, an E-Jet cargo conversion that is making its debut at the show; the C-390 Millennium multi-mission military tactical transport; and the A-29 Super Tucano multi-role aircraft, the gold standard for a broad range of missions such as light attack, aerial surveillance and interception, and counterinsurgency.
The C-390 Millennium and the E195-E2 will also take part in the flight display.
The E190F, which performed its maiden flight earlier this year, is a passenger jet converted to a freighter (E-Freighter). The E-Jets freighters (E190F and E195F) were launched in 2022 to meet the changing demands of e-commerce and modern trade, which require fast deliveries and decentralized operations.
Commenting on the development, Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO of Embraer declared: “I’m sure this will be another great airshow for Embraer. Farnborough is the main stage of the aviation industry, and we look forward to meeting with our customers, partners and many other stakeholders as we kick off our 55th anniversary celebrations.
“Embraer is experiencing very positive momentum, growing in a profitable way through the execution of our business strategy.”
Inside the Embraer chalet (#C-105), visitors will have the chance to take a closer look at multiple activities related to innovation, new technologies and the company’s roadmap to sustainable aviation, such as the Energia Family concept aircraft.
Also, Eve Air Mobility will be presenting updates on the development of its electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL) and the Urban Air Traffic Management software Vector, including a full-size eVTOL cabin mockup and a unique virtual reality (VR) flight experience.
