EMBRAER ERJ 135: introduction
Embraer ERJ 135: a versatile, economical regional jet
The Embraer ERJ 135, a regional aircraft designed by Brazilian manufacturer Embraer, is a model appreciated for its flexibility, reliability and optimum performance on short-haul routes. Based on the ERJ 145 platform, the ERJ 135 shares 95% of its components with this model, but its fuselage has been shortened by 3.5 meters, making it better suited to passenger transport missions in more confined spaces.
In addition to its main function as a regional transport, the ERJ 135 is also used for special missions for organizations such as NATO. This twin-engine aircraft is designed for short distances, and to date 110 have been produced. Embraer has also developed business versions of this aircraft, under the name Legacy, capable of accommodating between 16 and 37 passengers. These versions offer superior comfort for private flights, while maintaining excellent operational efficiency.
