EAST HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 18, 2019 \/PRNewswire\/ — Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp. (UTX<\/a>),\n and Embraer celebrated delivery of the GTF\u2122 PW1900G production engines \nfor the E195-E2 aircraft at Embraer’s E2 final assembly line in S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9\n dos Campos, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. The E195-E2 is expected to enter into service in the second half of 2019 with Azul Brazilian Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\n are excited to receive the GTF production engines for the initial \nserial production of the E195-E2, as we know firsthand the advantages \nthat these engines provide to our customers and the environment,” said Fernando Antonio Oliveira, Embraer’s E2 Program Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embraer’s E190-E2 aircraft, which is also powered by the Pratt & Whitney PW1900G engine, entered service in April 2018 with Wider\u00f8e, followed by Air Astana in December 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Delivering the first production engines for the E195-E2 is an important milestone for the program,” said Graham Webb,\n vice president of Commercial Engine Programs at Pratt & Whitney. \n“We look forward to continuing to work together to support Embraer’s \nsecond GTF-powered E2 aircraft model.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n addition to being selected as the exclusive propulsion system for the \nE2 commercial aircraft, Pratt & Whitney’s APS2600E auxiliary power \nunit (APU) is the sole-sourced APU for the E2 family. The APS2600E APU \ngives airlines greater flexibility, by increasing the altitude ceiling \nfor ETOPS and other operations, and providing a significant increase in \nelectrical power delivery to meet the needs of today’s airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n E195-E2 aircraft has more than 24% reduction in fuel burn per seat than\n the previous-generation E195, with NOx emissions 50% below the ICAO \nCAEP\/6 regulation and 19dB to 20dB of ICAO Chapter 4 cumulative noise \nmargin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
