BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT EMBRAER ERJ FAMILY
The Embraer ERJ family is a series of twin-engine regional jets. Aircraft in the series include the ERJ135, ERJ140 and ERJ145, as well as the Legacy business jet and the R-99 family of military aircraft. Each jet in the series is powered by two turbofan engines. The first model ERJ145 was designed for a perceived new market for regional jet aircraft, where the increased speed, comfort and passenger appeal would outweigh the inherent fuel economy of the turboprop aircraft, which were in service and in development. It first flew on August 11, 1995.
Embraer has introduced two shortened versions of the ERJ145. The ERJ140 is 1.42 m (4.7 ft) shorter. The only significant changes are a shorter fuselage, a slightly derated engine and an increased range. The ERJ135 is 3.54 m (11.6 ft) shorter.
