[Feature] JAL’s New International Airbus A350-1000: Focusing on Privacy in Business Class
Embraer announced upgrades and performance improvements for three commercial aircraft models at the Farnborough Airshow.
The Embraer E175 aircraft will introduce large luggage racks, doubling the current capacity, mood lighting, and Recaro-manufactured seats, becoming similar to the E2 models. Satellite connectivity will support Ku and Ka bands, with retrofitting available by 2026. It will also upgrade to next-generation weather and data avionics for turbulence detection and wind shear prediction, aligning with the E2 models’ capabilities, to be available by the second quarter of 2026.
The Embraer E195-E2 will improve fuel efficiency by 12.5% over competitive models, marking a 2.5% improvement over previous versions, resulting in a potential saving of 1 million USD. Additionally, the range has been increased from 2,600 nautical miles to 3,000 nautical miles due to an increased maximum takeoff weight of 62,500 kg. Engine improvements also reduce degradation, increasing flight endurance by 10%, allowing for a cost reduction of 500,000 USD over 15 years. Cabin optimization allows for an increase of up to 4 seats within the maximum of 146 seats, resulting in additional revenue of 4.5 million USD per aircraft over 15 years.
The E2 models feature an automatic takeoff system, extending the range from challenging airports. The range from London City Airport is extended by 350 nautical miles.
These cost reductions and additional revenues could improve an aircraft’s value by 6 million USD over 15 years.
