It rumbles properly. Directly after take-off on runway 32 at Zurich airport in strong winds by shaking the machine. No wonder, even the day before had brought a storm the air traffic at the largest Swiss Airport, in part, to a Standstill. Today, however, only the stormy gusts that sweep across the runway. Captain Giovanni Zanivan and First Officer Andreas Wenk form the Crew on this flight with a quasi-factory new Embraer E190-E2. During the briefing both pilots go through the weather conditions on the route. When the turbines run, the plane from Brazil is unusually quiet.
a Few minutes after Lift-off. The cruise altitude is reached. The Swiss airline “Helvetic Airways remains to be the pilot of” a bit of time for a conversation about your new work unit. In the recent Embraer E2 four large Displays facilitate with all important Indicators for attitude, altitude, speed, Navigation and collision and terrain warning the work. A Autopilot of the latest Generation. According to the pilots, the E2 is a significant improvement over the previous model and compared to the previously used Fokker 100 is a giant leap forward. In addition, the lush power of the two-reflector for joyful mood.
Shortly thereafter, working for the pilots is on the hour-long flight as well. The approach to Ljubljana requires concentration. Violent winds from the surrounding mountains provide for severe turbulence. Gusts of wind by rocking the 110-seat Embraer neat. On the final approach to the airport of the Slovenian capital, but it is quiet.

The decision against a European-canadian solution from Airbus/Bombardier and the Brazilian fell to the Federal Helvetic Airways after careful Consideration. A lot of choices in this class, the 110 – to 140-seater, there is not. On The Contrary. So the well-known duopoly of Airbus and Boeing in the case of large machines continues today in the case of smaller transport aircraft. That was three years ago, in a different way. It was at this point in time, Bombardier from Canada, the CS-100/300 series, although with little success. Brazil’s Embraer had already the new model of family 175/190/195 in the E2 Version on the market. In the year 2018, the CS series was due to the sale of a large part of Bombardier’s airline division of the Airbus group, Airbus Canada to A220-100/300. Aircraft Embraer should be marketed from this spring under the new name “Boeing Brasil Commercial”. Boeing wanted to take over 80 percent, and the Brazilian should keep 20 percent. But at the end of April, Boeing announced that the Corona-induced crisis of the business to resign.
in order for the Embraer the Airbus model Paroli can offer, putting the South Americans, especially on economical turbines. The are Pratt & Whitney of the type PW1900G. A transmission ensures that the Fan and the rotating low-pressure turbine to run at their respective optimum speed range. The sophisticated design reduces the fuel consumption. The kerosene consumption of E2 should be according to the Helvetic 17 percent lower than that of the previous model. This is especially to the new engines, but only one of them. Embraer has developed for the E2, a new wing, the aerodynamic and four feet more wingspan has.
Also, for the lower noise level, the engines are largely responsible. The E2 is one of the quietest aircraft in the world. According to one computer model, the noise signature at the airport should be in future only half as large as in the past. The passengers benefit as well. The E2 is due to good soundproofing in the cabin is very quiet.
