FIRST General Forum

Yesterday on our city (São José dos Campos - SP), EMBRAER did the Roll-Out of its new generation of aircraft, the E2 family.

EMBRAER is one of the biggest aircraft manufactures of the world and it was born and based on our city.

We have many former members of our Team Cephatron #1860 working on EMBRAER and many members of our partners and older brother the ETEPTeam #1382 working there too.

We are proud to be part of it.

Here are some links with the Roll-out event yesterday.

Hope you like it as much as I did

I fly often for business, usually on smaller jets like the ERJ145 or E170, both of which are good aircraft. From an engineering view, the development of a completey new airframe is like giving birth, only it hurts more :ahh:

Brazil and Embraer are rightly very proud of this new line, I wish them much success.
