Embraer’s New Lineage 1000E Goes the Distance
Brazilian OEM introduces new Lineage version at NBAA

Embraer Executive Jets unveiled a new version of its flagship business jet–the Lineage 1000–today at the NBAA convention. The 1000 E-model comes with extended range, an enhanced interior with the latest-generation cabin entertainment system and new cockpit options.

Embraer has increased the range of the bizliner from 4,400 nm to 4,600 nm with eight passengers by lowering its empty weight. It has also extracted more than 500 pounds by redesigning the forward fuselage and removing an unused door; removing 12 to 13 unused “mirage” windows previously hidden behind cabinetry, depending on the interior modules; and optimizing fuselage supports. The range extension makes available routes that were previously considered marginal, such as from São Paulo to New York, which can be unattainable in certain wind conditions.
