Embraer's E-Freighter is Certified by the FAA

Rhea-AI Summary

Embraer's E190F E-Freighter has received full certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in September 2024. This certification covers both the passenger-to-freighter conversion and the Cargo Loading System developed by U.S. Cargo Systems. The E-Freighter was previously certified by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) in July, with EASA certification expected later this year.

It's designed to meet the changing demands of e-commerce and modern trade, which require faster deliveries to regional markets. The E-Freighter offers over 40% more volume capacity, three times the range of large cargo turboprops, and up to 30% lower operating costs than larger narrowbodies. The maximum structural payload for the E190F is 13,500 kg when combining capacity under the floor and main deck.
