Brazil’s Embraer is about to receive the first pair of Pratt & Whitney PW1900G turbofans for its new E190-E2, as the company nears full assembly of the first prototype, scheduled for completion by the end of the year. Speaking to reporters at the Dubai Airshow, Embraer Commercial Airplanes CEO Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva noted that the program remains “on track” for first flight in the second half of next year, possibly as early as July. Now operating its so-called iron bird in São Jose dos Campos, Brazil, Embraer plans to use four flight-test airplanes in the program, three of which it expects to fly in 2016 and the fourth—equipped with a full interior—early the following year. Embraer plans to deliver the first E109-E2 in the first half of 2018.
