Which engine does Embraer use?
Embraer ERJ 175 Powered by GE CF34-8E engines, the Embraer E175 sets the standard in terms of reliability and performance in the regional jet segment. The E175 operates on selected routes from different cities. The ‘reliability, efficiency and passenger appeal’ makes Embraer aircraft a hit with LOT passengers. With major US carriers operating small planes on regional routes, Embraer’s focus on sub-200 passenger planes – its largest, the E195, has a maximum capacity of 146 seats – is a perfect fit for the US market.The key difference between the two lies in the wings, with the E175 having much larger wings than the E170. On the Embraer E170, the winglets are at 90 degrees to the wing, as opposed to the E175 which has them at 45 degrees. The Embraer E190 and E195 are the longer variants of the Embraer E-Jet family.In 1999 Embraer announced the production of the Embraer E170. The aircraft had its maiden flight in February 2002 and has been in service since March 2004.The Embraer 170 typically seats around 72 passengers in a typical single class configuration, 66 in a dual class configuration, and up to 78 in a high-density configuration. The E170 directly competed with the Bombardier CRJ700 and loosely with the turboprop Bombardier Q400.The key difference between the two lies in the wings, with the E175 having much larger wings than the E170.

Is Embraer safer than Boeing?
The World’s Safest Airplanes: Embraer Independent of the reason, the Brazilian manufacturer, despite fabricating smaller jets, managed to make them safer than the larger machines than brands of airplanes like Boeing and Airbus. Embraer grew out of a national drive to develop aeronautical engineering and aircraft manufacture in Brazil. The company was founded in 1969 by Ozires Silva, a former major in the Brazilian Air Force.Embraer (Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S. A. NYSE: ERJ; Bovespa: EMBR3) is a world leading manufacturer of commercial jets up to 120 seats, and one of Brazil’s leading exporters.
