Embraer Cuts First Metal for 175-E2
Brazilian manufacturer says 195-E2 testing ahead of schedule following early first flight, allowing it to focus on further product improvement before EIS.

Embraer on June 27 cut the E175-E2’s first metal—a wing stub that passes through the bottom part of the fuselage of the smallest member of the re-worked E-Jet family—at its Evora factory near Lisbon, Portugal. The first member of the family, the 190-E2, flew for the first time in late May and as of June 28 had completed 37 hours of testing during 16 flights.
