Embraer E195-E2 Asiapac Sales Demonstration Tour 2019
Following the Paris Airshow in June 2019, Embraer have taken their E195-E2 Sales Demonstrator on a tour of Asia Pacific, visiting Brisbane and Sydney in Australia. Embraer invited me along to an inspection of the aircraft at Sydney Airport on Wednesday 24th July 2019, from 9am until 11am, and I was very impressed by this beautiful special livery edition of the type. The E195-E2 received Type Certification simultaneously from the three major regulatory authorities on the 15th April 2019 (ANAC in Brazil, the FAA in the USA, and EASA in Europe).

The Pratt & Whitney PW1921G engine delivers a double digit reduction in fuel burn, with lower noise, and lower emissions
![](https://cdn.16right.com/aircraft/large/PR-ZIQ D500-20190724-014.jpg)
The Pratt & Whitney PW1921G engine delivers 22,550 lbs thrust, has a 73 inch Fan diameter, weighs 4,800 lbs, and has a Bypass Ratio of 12.5:1
![](https://cdn.16right.com/aircraft/large/PR-ZIQ D500-20190724-073.jpg)
Fuel burn over a 600nm sector for the Pratt & Whitney PW1921G engine is 10% less than the Airbus A220
![](https://cdn.16right.com/aircraft/large/PR-ZIQ D500-20190724-077.jpg)
The rear view of the Pratt & Whitney PW1921G engine. Captain Sydney Rodrigues demonstrated the 3:1 gear ratio of the engine to me, by rotating the main high bypass fan. I could see that for each revolution of the compressor fans, the main high bypass bypass fan only rotated one third of a revolution.
![](https://cdn.16right.com/aircraft/large/PR-ZIQ D500-20190724-017.jpg)
When it comes to external noise levels, the E2 has the highest margin to new ICAO Standards. Noise margins for ICAO Chapter 4 are 20 for the E190-E2, and 19 for the E195-E2, compared to 18 for the A220-100, and 16 for the A220-300.

The Main Gear is a new training link design, which reduces landing peak loads, and improves ground handling and balance
![](https://cdn.16right.com/aircraft/large/PR-ZIQ D500-20190724-015.jpg)
The landing gear is easier to maintain, and is less prone to oil or gas leakages
![](https://cdn.16right.com/aircraft/large/PR-ZIQ D500-20190724-065.jpg)
Landing Gear now has a fully enclosed wheel fairing, which improves aerodynamics, and reduces fuel burn

![](https://cdn.16right.com/aircraft/large/PR-ZIQ D500-20190724-021.jpg)
The rear stabiliser has been redesigned, and now has less wet area, less skin drag, resulting in lower fuel burn
