Embraer E175-E2

E7W E75L In Production

Smallest of the second-generation E-Jet E2 family, the Embraer E175-E2 is a regional jet re-engined with Pratt & Whitney PW1700G geared turbofans. It seats about 80 passengers, up to 90 single-class, with a range of roughly 3,735 km at 829 km/h, and made its first flight in 2021. Measuring 31.7 metres long with a maximum takeoff weight of 44,312 kg, it is heavier than the first-generation E175-E1. That added weight has limited its sales in the United States, where pilot-contract scope clauses cap regional aircraft weight and seat count, favouring the earlier E175 in its core market.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Embraer E175-E2 is designed to seat approximately 80 passengers in a two-class configuration, with up to 90 seats in a single-class layout. It maintains the popular 2-2 seating arrangement from the first-generation E175. The E175-E2 features the same modern cabin interior design as its E2 siblings with larger overhead bins.

The Embraer E175-E2 is expected to have a maximum range of approximately 3,735 km (2,017 nautical miles). It uses a Pratt & Whitney PW1715G geared turbofan engine, the smallest variant in the PW1000G family. The fuel efficiency improvement over the first-generation E175 is estimated at approximately 16%.

The E175-E2 offers 16% better fuel efficiency and a redesigned wing with increased span, while maintaining the same cabin cross-section and 2-2 seating. The new geared turbofan engines are significantly quieter. However, the E175-E2 has a higher maximum takeoff weight, which creates a critical problem: US airline scope clauses typically limit regional jets to 86,000 pounds (39,009 kg), and the E175-E2 exceeds this threshold.

The E175-E2 shares the E2 family's redesigned wing with raked wingtips and the angular cockpit window design. Its Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines have distinctive large-diameter nacelles. The aircraft is shorter than the E190-E2 and E195-E2, making it the most compact member of the E2 family. The overall appearance is noticeably more modern than the first-generation E175.

The E175-E2 has received no firm orders, making it the least successful E2 variant. The primary obstacle is the US airline scope clause, which restricts regional aircraft to a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 86,000 pounds. The E175-E2 exceeds this limit, making it ineligible for the massive US regional market that the first-generation E175 dominates. Until scope clauses are renegotiated, the E175-E2's market potential remains limited to non-US operators.
