From the early triumphs of pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, to the brand-new and revolutionary Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 executive jets, Brazil has always been at the forefront of aerospace technology. In 1969, the Brazilian government created Embraer, ensuring the country s continuing commitment to the field of aviation. Renowned for its innovative aircraft and dedication to customer service, Embraer has grown into a leader in the regional airline market, with popular models ranging from the ERJ 145 and EMBRAER 170/190 families to a growing portfolio of business aircraft. The company also introduced the world s first ethanol-powered aircraft manufactured in series: the EMB 202A Ipanema. After its privatization in 1994, Embraer experienced a sharp rise in growth, coming to enjoy a prominent position in the airline market, and aggressively entering the executive aviation market, while maintaining its historic military alliance with new models such as the KC-390 tanker and in-flight refueling jet. Discover the dramatic story of a company and a country that helped shape aviation's past, and guide its future, in The History of Embraer. Condition: Very good / Very good.
