My first Embraer

Many do not know that the third largest airplane manufacturer is a Brazilian company named Embraer. Specially for we that graduated at ITA, Embraer has a particular importance because it was for the success that Embraer now has that our university was originally created: to build the human resources to start and populate the Brazilian aeronautics industry.

Although I met with several people that work at Embraer, it was not until last Monday, that I was able to enter an Embraer airplane, more specifically the Air France ERJ 145 with capacity for 50 passengers. My impression of the plane was really good. Though it is smaller than the usual Airbus that is commonly used in these regional flights, it was really a comfortable trip.
