Embraer · Brazil · first flew 2017 · airliner
The Embraer E195-E2 is the largest member of the second-generation E-Jet family, seating up to 146 passengers in a 2-2 cabin on a re-winged, re-engined airframe that competes directly with the Airbus A220-300.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, swept |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 2 × turbofan, wing-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | Longest E-Jet E2 — 41.5 m fuselage seating up to 146 passengers in a 2-2 abreast cabin |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Longest E-Jet E2 — 41.5 m fuselage seating up to 146 passengers in a 2-2 abreast cabin
- Very long high-aspect-ratio wing with distinctive upswept E2 scimitar winglets
- Two large Pratt & Whitney PW1900G geared turbofans under the wing — engines visibly larger relative to the slim fuselage
Longer than the E190-E2 and visibly more slender relative to its length than a comparable A220. The scimitar winglets and long wing are shared with the E190-E2; count fuselage windows or compare overall length to distinguish the two E2 siblings.
Specifications
- The Embraer E195-E2 has a length of 41.5 m (136 ft).
- It has a wingspan of 35.1 m (115 ft).
- Its maximum speed is 870 km/h (541 mph).
- Typical crew: 2.

History
Launched alongside the E190-E2 and E175-E2 in 2013, the E195-E2 first flew on 29 January 2019. It entered service with Azul Brazilian Airlines in September 2019. The new high-aspect-ratio wing and geared turbofans deliver up to 25 per cent better fuel burn than the original E195, repositioning Embraer squarely in the 120-150 seat market.
Variants
The E195-E2 is the stretched sibling of the E190-E2, sharing its wing and engines but with a longer fuselage. The E175-E2 is the smallest of the three; the E195-E2 is the only one that is longer than its first-generation counterpart.
Where you'll see it
European operators including KLM Cityhopper have ordered the E195-E2 for medium-density European routes. UK relevance grows as airlines replace ageing narrow-bodies with the type, which is also marketed to potential British regional and charter operators.
