Brazilian Manufacturer Develops Enhanced Takeoff System for E2 Jets

Embraer is nearing certification of its Enhanced Takeoff System, or E2TS, which automates the rotation and initial phase of takeoff for its E190-E2 and E195-E2 jets. The system, expected to be certified by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency in September or October, could provide a competitive advantage over the Airbus A220 by increasing payload or range in performance-limited operations. Embraer unveiled E2TS at the Farnborough International Airshow in 2024, and the technology is intended to be available as an upgrade for existing E2 aircraft. This development was first reported by Air Data News.
