Previous versions
The Embraer 195 was built on models such as the E170 and E175. All three variants have the same fuselage section size, similar avionics systems and similar electronic equipment. In order to improve flight performance, the engineers did a lot of work, as a result of which the car received an improved high-rise rudder, new power plants and longer wings. In addition, many structural elements and components of the aircraft are borrowed from the E190 modification.
Getting Started
