In the November 2021 edition of Airliner World, we gain exclusive insight into Embraer’s new turboprop offering as our very own Gordon Smith sits down with key representatives from the Brazilian manufacturer. We find out how they intend to disrupt the market – a sector lacking innovation in recent years – with promises of a “jet-like experience” and future proofing for sustainability in mind.
