New Embraer turboprop airliner

Embraer is reportedly planning a new turboprop airliner of 70-100 seats, with the company confirming that the Brazilian manufacturer has been examining various concepts and that they are “talking to partners that may be interested in investing to make it viable”. The company’s CEO Arjan Meijer, also emphasised that the focus is on bringing an efficient and sustainable product to market and that Embraer plans to the conventional turboprop engines rather than hybrid-electric of fully electric powerplants. “There a big opportunity to bring to the market an aircraft that is more efficient, faster, more confortable (and which is also) more environmentally friendly”.
