Embraer’s first E2 prototype

By Adam Gavine on July 14, 2016 Image Galleries

Aircraft Interiors International enjoyed a tour of Embraer’s first E2 prototype at Farnborough International Airshow 2016. Here’s what we found onboard…

: The E2 prototype was a real star of the Farnborough show

: No seats here: the cabin of this E190-E2 prototype is fitted with ballast tanks that allow the center of gravity to be moved throughout a flight

: Various weight scenarios can be simulated using the ballast tanks

: The test equipment requires big power units to operate

: The flag at the rear of the cabin shows how proud Embraer’s engineers are of this Brazilian project

: A few lucky Embraer staff were allowed to travel to and from Farnborough in the prototype. There is no IFE, so they loaded up tablets with movies prior to the flights

: Everything from spares to suitcases was loaded at the rear of the cabin

: This is PriestmanGoode’s cabin design, which will be flying in 2018.
