      It would certainly be cool if Embraer were able to jump into Boeing’s and Airbus’ sandbox, but the 737 and A320 are so entrenched that designing an aircraft compelling enough for potential buyers to take on the expense of incorporating an entirely new type seems like an awfully tall order (I will neither confirm nor deny whether that pun was intended 😆). Maybe hydrogen power would be key to making the case, though I don’t know what the expectations are for the technology, or what the development timeline looks like. (Hmm...maybe a credible 757 replacement would pique some interest?)

T-tails introduce the risk of a deep stall and in the case of turbofan or turboprop engines in the back, inlet fouling as well. If I remember correctly there were a few incidents in the MD-80s regarding deep stalls way back. Hopefully that risk doesn't get reintroduced.

    • @adamaviation6236
      @adamaviation6236 2 года назад

      @The Flying Farmer the molecules from below the wing try to go to the top where the pressure is lower, but keep spiralling because the plane is moving forward. Most of it travels down to the wingtip and creates vortices, but the trailing edge of the wing from the root to tip has air flowing upwards and downwards, causing turbulence. This is the reason that small planes have to land closer to the end of the runway than big planes because the entire wing is creating wake turbulence

      @@jimbokay5696 There were several factors.
      The delay in launching the project was due to the difficulty and slowness of the Argentines in the part of the project they were responsible for.
      With the financial difficulties that Embraer was facing, the Brazilian government decided to privatize it. During this transition, the ERJ family was also in development. With the scarcity of financial resources, they could not afford the development of both models and decided to prioritize the ERJ project, which would be more profitable.
      In addition, another aggravating factor was the oil crisis of 1990, making the Vector's operation uncompetitive. These factors, combined with the regional aviation market's demand for higher-capacity aircraft with jet engines, made it impossible to continue the program.

Maybe in fear that the public would hate it, as you say. Cause they prefere jet-engines.

    This has so much of the CBA 123 Vector on in. But bigger. The CBA 123 Vector was a Collaboration between Brazil and Argentina to develop and advance regional 19-seats turboprops in the 90's. It featured rear fuselage-mounted turboprop engines with 6-blades counter-rotating props in pusher config which placed them so far back that the plane was quieter than the 737 Classics of the time, advanced aerodynamics with supercritical airfoils, super advanced avionics and systems (for the time) including EFIS, AHRS, EICAS and FADEC, 300+ knots of cruise airspeed and a service ceiling of 35000 ft. Oh, and it had an amazingly sexy ramp appeal that made you shout "I want to fly in that". 3 prototypes were built, 1 was unfinished at 80%, 2 of them flew, one of them at the 1990 Farnborough Air Show. The project was a failure and a total loss for Argentina, For Brazil, however, it gave Embraer the maturity and experience in aircraft development, especially regarding advanced systems, that helped them succeed with the first generation of ERJ jets. And evidently they are still using the ideas and lessons learned today (and why wouldn't they).

      It’s not so unusual for frequent travelers to consider the aircraft type in their flight planning. I certainly do, and many of my colleagues do the same - even for 1-2 hour short hops. I never liked turbos because of their noise, rough flight characteristics in bad weather due to their low altitude compared to jets, and their slow speed. It was a godsend when the majors here in the US retired them. If Emb can largely address these historical concerns, I could become a fan of them.

    Couple things I’d be curious about is the issue of de-icing. Will it have boots or a hot wing? I’d be concerned that boots would cause ice to break off and the blades hitting the chunks and getting damaged. A hot wing though would solve that but either requires more bleed air than is generated by a turboprop OR addition electrical generation.

    • @ChrisCullenRacing
      @ChrisCullenRacing 2 года назад +1

      Embraer 175s have bleed air for the leading edge anti-ice, so i'm sure they will carry that forward, especially if it could damage props.

    • @ViewsfromtheHUD
      @ViewsfromtheHUD 2 года назад +15

      @@ChrisCullenRacing I know, I have about 2500 hours flying the 190 😉 I also have several thousand in a couple turboprops and they all had boots, not heated wings. Most turboprop engines have a much smaller compressor section meaning less bleed air is available to operate bleed air powered accessories. Maybe the engine they select will have the ability to offer more bleed air, not sure🤷‍♂️, however, the distance from the engine to the leading edges tells me it’s unlikely.
      My bet would be boots or an electrically heated wing. That though creates issues with power generation. If you need extra generators to run a heated wing that is a load in the engine which than reduces fuel efficiency.
      Again, it’ll be interesting to see how they overcome this. 🤔

    • @KENARDO
      @KENARDO 2 года назад +11

      @@ViewsfromtheHUD I'd bet on more future aircraft adopting all-electric/no-bleed-air systems based on the relative success of the 787 in this area. Bleed air systems are heavy and they do ultimately still draw their energy from the engines, which could otherwise be used for thrust, so they reduce fuel efficiency by potentially a greater degree than all-electric systems. Boeing certainly thought so when designing the 787, which is an extremely fuel efficient aircraft without a bleed air system.

    • @abdullaal-obaidi833

      Given the abundance of hydrophobic coatings, I'm surprised that aircraft manufacturers don't use them to prevent ice buildup on aircraft. The right makeup of hydrophobic texture can entirely eliminate ice formation. It would also be a lot lighter than any active system as well.

  • @commerce-usa
    @commerce-usa 2 года назад +3

    It makes a lot of sense for all the reasons mentioned. The only thing one could envision (and hopefully is already part of the design) is when a catastrophic prop failure might occur, that adequate reinforcement on the fuselage near areas where debris might strike the fuselage is done to prevent damage to any control surface related cabling and/or anything else that might cause a failure of tail section components. That said, it looks like a fantastic aircraft with much to offer all involved parties. 👍

      They aren't trying to replace older turboprops, they're trying to re-start an entire market. Most of the US regional operators got rid of their turboprops ages ago, the thought is that US passengers don't want to go near anything that "old" and "unsafe" when they see a propeller. Their goal was to achieve the speed of a jet, with the efficiency of a turboprop (kinda like a Q400) with an image that passengers were comfortable with. The cleaner wing also reduces drag a LOT - the t-tail is a big heavier, but it's clearly worth it.

This mainly due that engines located at the rear are common back then, which i'm a fan of it, given most aircraft these days looks the same (twin jet engine that located under the wing). Although it's not as big as i hope for (something at the same size as the 737 and A320, just like the Maddog), at least it still exist (even though CRJ still exist).
