Boeing and Embraer both rolled out their latest ground breaking aircraft, simultaneously. The first 737 MAX 9 made its debut in front of thousands of Boeing employees March 7th in Renton, Washington while Embraer rolled outs its largest member of the family, the E195-E2 on the same day in São José dos Campos. The sheer innovation and technological makeup of these two airplane types is quite phenomenal. The E2 is fitted with the fourth generation of fly-by-wire, which allowed a 20% reduction of the empennage area, minimising drag and weight. The MAX incorporates the latest technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines, advanced technology winglets and other improvements while the E2 is equipped with state-of-the-art Pratt & Whitney Pure- Power Geared Turbofan technology. Boeing will now get stuck in with system checks, fuelling and engine runs on the flight line. Once completed, the MAX 9 begins flight testing – the final phase of verification of the operational characteristics and overall performance of a new 737 variant. The MAX 9 is scheduled to enter service in 2018. Embraer will use two aircraft for the E195-E2 certification campaign. The first prototype will be used for the aerodynamic and performance tests. The second prototype, which will also make its inaugural flight by the end of this year, will be used for the validation of maintenance tasks and of the interior. With the first flight scheduled for the coming months, the jet is expected to enter service in the first half of 2019. No doubt airlines will be watching and observing closely as two of today’s most efficient airplanes take to the sky. Happy reading!
