New Technologies
Fourth generation full fly-by-wire on the E2 improves flying qualities and boosts fuel efficiency.
The E2 will take advantage of the FWB expertise developed by Embraer for the E-Jets, Legacy 500 and the KC-390. E2 three-axis closed loop system improves aircraft stability during turbulence and provides complete envelope protection in all phases of flight.
The system is also designed to maximize fuel efficiency. The closed loop configuration allows the E2 empennages to be smaller thus reducing aircraft drag and weight.
AHEAD-PRO is a computational web-based platform to continuously monitor the health of the fleet, providing timely maintenance information in a friendly and straightforward way.
With AHEAD-PRO aircraft systems health condition is systematically assessed and unplanned maintenance of monitored systems is avoided by means of failures occurrence prediction.
Moreover the activities of fault identification, troubleshooting and resources planning occur before the aircraft lands its destination, optimizing airline turn-around-time between flights.
AHEAD-PRO offers functionalities to optimize all steps to execute Health Monitoring process in the airline, from data acquisition to time-to-failure prognosis.
Cockpit
E2’s advanced integrated avionics system provides exceptional situational awareness enhanced by large landscape displays and reduced pilot workload.
Innovative technologies such as synthetic vision and advanced flight management support more fuel-efficient direct approaches to airports. Cockpit commonality with current-generation E-Jets allows for a smooth transition to the new E2 platform.

Common type rating between current generation E-Jets and the E2s makes it easy to transition between aircraft. In fact, it takes a maximum of three days of training.
Pilots complete self-instruction and classroom modules before reviewing cockpit procedures in a trainer. High-level flight training systems and time in a full-flight simulator are not necessary for E-Jets pilots to qualify on the E2.
Wing and Engine
The E2s sport high-aspect ratio wings with swept tips that, combined with redesigned pylons and other aerodynamic improvements — coupled with our enhanced fourth generation full fly-by-wire — achieve double digit lower fuel consumption compared to current-generation E-Jets.
An Optimized Combination The wing and engine combination for the E175-E2 and a common larger wing and engine for the E190-E2/E195-E2 are optimized to deliver maximum performance.
Pratt & Whitney PurePower® Geared Turbofan™ Engine E2’s new GTF engines — the PW1700G (E175-E2) and PW1900G (E190-E2 and E195-E2) — have an advanced gear system that allows the engine’s fan to operate at a different speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine.
They work in combination with new aerodynamically advanced wings and other advanced controls and systems to create doubledigit improvements in fuel burn, maintenance costs, emissions, and external noise.
