This is one of Embraer’s demonstration aircraft. It’s the ERJ-190 “E2”, which is the “2nd generation” of the E-Jet.
Major differences are new engines (P&W PW1000G geared turbofan), wings, h-stab, landing gear, fly-by-wire ailerons (no cables) (empennage is already FBW on the E1), cabin, air cycle machines, and flaps.
Its an awesome looking airplane!
Here are some of my coworkers and me next to the “Profit Hunter”, last Friday, at our EAMS heavy maintenance and overhaul center at BNA.
I’m the guy with the beard, light blue shirt, wearing a lanyard, by the LH engine.
