Embraer: news - Embraer - The shape of things to come, new sustainable aircraft concepts revealed
A year on from Embraer's Sustainability in Action in event, which detailed the study of four new aircraft concepts powered by new technologies and renewable energies, the company has been focusing on two 19-30 seater designs for hybrid electric and hydrogen electric propulsion. Guided by the company's 50 year technical expertise, external inputs from airlines, and joint studies with engine OEMs, these two approaches to net-zero offer a technically realistic and economically feasible pathway to net-zero.
Energia Hybrid (E19-HE and E30-HE) – revealed as a nine seater in 2021, Embraer is exploring a 19 and a 30 seater variant:
parallel hybrid-electric propulsion
up to 90% CO2 emissions reduction when using SAF
19 and 30 seat variants
rear-mounted engines
technology readiness – early 2030's
Energia H2 Fuel Cell (E19-H2FC and E30-H2FC) – revealed as a 19 seater in 2021, Embraer is exploring a 30 seater variant:
hydrogen electric propulsion
zero CO2 emissions
19 and 30 seat variants
rear-mounted electric engines
technology readiness – 2035
