Embraer 195 (photo below) is the newest and largest model of the aircraft, which is produced by the eponymous manufacturing company located in Brazil. It began to be actively used by many world airlines in 2006. In addition to the basic version, an elongated modification is also made, which is distinguished by the ability to fly over longer distances. In its name, the marking LR is added.
Previous Versions
The basis for the construction of Embraer 195 aircraft were models such as the E170 and E175. All three options have the same fuselage cross-sectional size, similar avionics systems and similar electronic equipment. In order to improve flight performance, the engineers did a great job, as a result of which the machine received an improved high-altitude steering wheel, new power plants and wings that became longer. In addition, many structural elements and components of the aircraft were borrowed from the modification E190.
Start of operation
According to official information, the Embraer 195 took off for the first time and carried out a test flight on December 7, 2004. The first user of this model was Flybe, a British low-cost airline that specializes primarily in flights within Europe. Then the company placed an order for fourteen cars with the possibility of additional addition of twelve more units. In 2006, the commercial operation of the modification began. Currently, it is actively used by leading airlines from Italy, Poland, Israel, Germany, Russia, Jordan, Argentina and other countries.
general description
The Embraer 195 is a mid-range airliner with a narrow fuselage, which has become the most spacious among all the modifications of the family. It is designed for operation on lines that have an average length. As for the maximum distance that this machine can cover without additional refueling, then taking into account the maximum load, it is 4077 kilometers. The main competitors of this aircraft are the Boeing 737-600 and Airbus A318.
Depending on the layout of the cabin, the number of passengers that can be simultaneously transported by this aircraft is in the range from 106 to 122. The location of the seats inside the Embraer 195 is made in the ratio of “two plus two”. Inside the model, an indirect lighting system is installed. For storage of luggage of passengers rather capacious regiments are intended.
Main characteristics
The total length of the basic version of the aircraft is 38.6 meters, while the wingspan is 28.7 meters. As for the width of the cabin, it is only 2.74 meters. In the form of traction units, the model uses two GE CF34-10E engines with a capacity of 8400 kgf each. It should be noted that these motors fully comply with the most stringent modern requirements for the amount of noise. The cruising speed of the airliner is 890 km / h. The maximum height of its flight is 11,900 meters.
Key Benefits
One of the main advantages that the Embraer 195 airliner boasts are its wings, which are equipped with peculiar corners at the ends. Their main design goal was to reduce the resistance force, which significantly reduced fuel consumption. In addition, high environmental friendliness and low noise level allows you to operate the aircraft at all leading airports in Europe and the world. Passenger seats that are installed in the cabin are comfortable and spacious. In addition, they are equipped with adjustable head restraints. All this in a complex makes trips quite comfortable.
