EMBRAER LEADS WITH ENERGIA CONCEPT AIRCRAFT

In addition to producing regional passenger aircraft like the Embraer 170 and 190, Embraer makes the world’s best-selling light jet - the Phenom 300.

Last year, Embraer Executive Jets president and CEO Michael Amalfitano said that the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer would be testing this aircraft on 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

Embraer is also planning a next-generation aircraft concept called Energia, which will include both a hybrid-electric and a hydrogen-electric version. In a recent interview on our podcast, Sustainability In The Air, top executives detailed their vision for these next generations of aircraft.

You would imagine that the hybrid-electric E19-HE, which will theoretically have up to 19 seats in the commuter version, will also be offered to business aviation customers.

Note that as well as carbon emissions benefits, the E-19-HE also claims a noise reduction of 60%, which will be very appealing to urban airports.
