Embraer has released pictures of the first prototype of its E190-E2, which is in final assembly at the manufacturer’s headquarters in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil.
The aircraft, bearing the registration PR-ZEY, is seen resting on struts, with its fuselage join and wing-to-body completed. Painted in Embraer’s blue, yellow and grey livery, the aircraft is without its Pratt & Whitney PW1900G geared turbofan engines. The vertical stabilizer is also yet to be attached.

The E190-E2 is scheduled to enter into service in the first half of 2018, followed by the E195-E2 in 2019 and the E175-E2 in 2020.
