The E19-HE's range is 500 nm, and carbon emissions would be slashed 90 percent with SAF, and by 30 percent with jet-A1, Embraer said. [Courtesy: Embraer]
Key Takeaways:
Embraer unveiled new hybrid-electric and hydrogen-electric aircraft concepts as part of its Energia sustainability initiative, aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Energia Hybrid models (E19-HE, E30-HE) feature parallel hybrid-electric propulsion, targeting up to 90% CO2 reduction with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and a 500 nm range.
The Energia Hydrogen Fuel Cell models (E19-H2FC, E30-H2FC) utilize hydrogen electric propulsion for zero CO2 emissions and a range of at least 200 nm.
Embraer believes these 19- and 30-seat concepts are technically realistic and economically feasible starting points for new propulsion technologies to reach market by the early 2030s.
Embraer unveiled two new concepts for hybrid electric and hydrogen electric aircraft Monday, which the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer says is part of its plan to attain net-zero emissions by 2050.
The aircraft concepts are part of Embraer’s Energia sustainability initiative launched last year, and include new propulsion technology on smaller aircraft.
