Flew one of these from PDX to MSP, sleek plane, nice seating (no middle seats), fast

Embraer is to Boeing what Bombardier is to Airbus.

Natural monopolies, nationalist protectionism, too big to fail, etc.

Is this a 190?

would like them to move into manufacturing 150-200 seats class.
I'm not dissatisfied with Airbus, but the quality is excellent, so I'd like it to be developed as a third option.

The E2's are the quietest planes on the current market.

i miss seeing 135s everywhere to be honest, they just had such a cool look, 145s are still around in some places but they arent the same

>In comparison to other narrowbodies on the market, the Embraer E2 successfully outclasses them all. Its close competitor, the Airbus A220-300, is 11% nosier when measured in EMPdB than the E195-E2.

They have a window of opportunity to go big as Boeing is currently failing. I doubt they will seize it though. It would require a ton of capital than neither them nor the Brazilian government can easily gather. I think it's more realistic for COMAC to eventually replace Boeing. The CCP is willing to dump money in COMAC for decades until they make it.

it's a fucking goblin plane designed by huemonkeys for 5'2" subhumans
you can't even stand up from an aisle seat without smashing your head on the overhead bin. don't even fucking bother getting up from a window seat or you're dead

>>1977411
Boeing wanted to form a partnership (which would probably lead to their acquisition down the line) since they can actually design planes. It didn't concretize.
Realistically, they could make a B737 or A320 competitor, but it doesn't make sense at the moment. Their best shot is to have something for the ~2035-40 since that's where we expect the stretched A220 to come out to replace the A320 and news about A321 replacement, which should be a new plane using the CFM RISE.

>>1977411

more competition is always good and i hope they make a big plane

I'm 6'0 and just took a flight on a J-Air (Japan airlines subsidiary) E175.

The overhead bin is indeed very low, but interior was extremely spacious. Loads more legroom and width than a 737 or a320.

Part of it is probably the JAL configuration, but some of it is also due to the dimensions of the aircraft naturally forcing airlines to fit much bigger seats than typical economy on narrowbodies.

Pretty confy so you're completely wrong

Embraer makes some really sturdy airframes considering what air astana 1388 or air serbia asl86c erj survived through, or how an embraer legacy private jet managed to land safely after cutting off an entire boing 737 wing in a mid air collision.

I realized something awhile ago, do airplane manufacturers or airliners ever advertise their products or services as being safe, similar to what car companies do?

>replacing Boeing
Pure delusion. Sure, they are complete retards for listening to their customers and beating the type into something it isn’t rather than creating a new narrow body. They aren’t going anywhere.

>>1992301
It is not entirely unfeasible that Boeing gets forced out of the commercial space. I would say its likely that they are morally irredeemable and will not be able to ever operate again out of goodwill. Their greed and maliciousness occasionally can find self-interested excuses to pursue quality and safety, but overall they will always be looking to cut corners and put people's lives in jeopardy to make a little more money. They shouldn't be allowed in the airspace of a country with a self-respecting regulatory agency, but the fact is the risk is tolerated because the alternative is a complete breakdown of a crucial utility industry.

And if they actually had to face the consequences of the full breadth of their malfeasance (murdering a whistleblower was bold to say the least) Boeing would disappear completely.

BUT, in the very rare event Boeing is allowed to die its deserved death, whatever steps up to compete with Airbus will simply be a revived or new American firm that inherits the US airliner manufacturing capacity. Brazil, China, Indonesia etc. they are not going to be making widebody airliners that can actually compete with Airbus in our lifetimes. Brazil could probably outdo Boeing, but that still leaves a lot of room between "better than Boeing" and "acceptable" that still isn't up to a 21st century standard.

145s are my favorite when I'm solo flying because the entire plane is 1-2 Economy seating. I don't have to choose between window and aisle and it doesn't cost the price of a first class ticket either.

the ATR can carry 7 units
FedEx paid for most of the C408 R&D to replace the C208 on their feeder routes and needed it to carry at least three units
