E-Jets E2 Program Wins Aviation Week Commercial Aviation Grand Laureate

: Mar 17, 2019 - : 10:32 pm

Embraer’s family of E-Jets E2s has received the Aviation Week 2019 Commercial Aviation Grand Laureate, announced during the event ceremony in Washington DC on March 14. The E2 program also received the Laureates Award in the commercial aircraft platform story_category.

 

“Though it looks similar to Embraer’s original E-Jet series, the manufacturer’s E2 airliner family is substantially a new design, with major advances in aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, flight controls and cabin defining a new benchmark for crossover jets,” explained the publication to award the E2 program.

 

“This award belongs to all 18,000 Embraer employees. We must, of course, recognize the greatness of our engineering teams which worked very hard to overcome all the challenges during the E2 program’s development. It’s truly an honor to receive this award in the same year that Embraer is celebrating its 50th anniversary,” said Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, Embraer President & CEO.

 

“For Embraer to receive this award is the crowning achievement in such an incredible program,” said John Slattery, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “We have to remember that in an industry in which it’s not easy to keep complex programs on track, Embraer brought the E2 to market on schedule and on budget. It even exceeded several performance targets. I also want to share this award with our program partners. Without them, this would not be possible.”
