Fifty-two years in the aerospace business, Embraer S.A has achieved continued growth during five decades of building aircraft. Today the Sao Paulo-based company produces a range of commercial, executive, and military aircraft. Most impressive of all, Embraer is now the world's third largest producer of commercial aircraft. Since the October 26, 1968 maiden flight of the EMB 110 Bandeirante turboprop, Embraer's first aircraft type, the company has developed, built, and most importantly sold a variety of types ranging from trainers, regional jets, airliners, and military transports. Whatever your interest in aviation, Embraer: Brazil's Aerospace Powerhouse will serve as a superb reference for many types including the EMB 314 Super Tucano, the EMB 110 Bandeirante, the latest E2-series airliners, Legacy executive jets, and the KC-390 airlifter.
