Embraer's new E-Freighter, the E190F, is making its first public appearance at Farnborough this week and headlines the company's activities at this year's show.
The E190F, which performed its maiden flight earlier this year, is a converted passenger jet. Embraer launched the E-Jet freighters (E190F and E195F) in 2022 to meet the changing demands of e-commerce and modern trade, which require fast delivery and decentralized operations.
The Brazilian OEM's lineup at the show also includes a portfolio of commercial and defense aircraft, featuring the E195-E2, which Embraer claims ranks as the world’s most efficient and quietest narrowbody; the aforementioned E190F; the C-390 Millennium multi-mission military tactical transport; and the A-29 Super Tucano multi-role aircraft, which Embraer calls 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 OEM said.
“I’m sure this will be another great airshow for Embraer," said Embraer president and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto. "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.”
The Embraer chalet showcases several features of the company's efforts in innovation, new technology, and the roadmap to sustainable aviation, such as the Energia future aircraft concept. Embraer subsidiary Eve Air Mobility is presenting updates on its eVTOL aircraft and Vector urban air traffic management software, including a full-size eVTOL cabin mockup and a virtual-reality flight experience.
