Embraer's E-Freighter is Certified by the FAA
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.
The E190F program, launched in May 2022, aims to fill a gap in the air cargo market and replace older, less efficient models. 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.
L'E190F E-Freighter di Embraer ha ricevuto la certificazione completa dalla Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) a settembre 2024. Questa certificazione copre sia la conversione da passeggero a cargo che il Cargo Loading System sviluppato da U.S. Cargo Systems. L'E-Freighter era stato precedentemente certificato dall'Agenzia Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile del Brasile (ANAC) a luglio, con la certificazione EASA prevista per la fine di quest'anno.
Il programma E190F, lanciato nel maggio 2022, mira a colmare un gap nel mercato del cargo aereo e a sostituire modelli più vecchi e meno efficienti. È progettato per soddisfare le richieste in evoluzione dell'e-commerce e del commercio moderno, che richiedono consegne più rapide ai mercati regionali. L'E-Freighter offre oltre il 40% di capacità volumetrica in più, tre volte la portata di grandi turboprop cargo e costi operativi fino al 30% inferiori rispetto ai modelli narrowbody più grandi. Il carico massimo strutturale per l'E190F è di 13.500 kg combinando la capacità sotto il pavimento e sul ponte principale.

Esta certificación abarca tanto la conversión de pasajero a carguero como el Sistema de Carga Desarrollado por U.S. Cargo Systems. El E-Freighter había sido previamente certificado por la Agencia Nacional de Aviación Civil de Brasil (ANAC) en julio, y se espera la certificación de EASA más adelante este año.
El programa E190F, lanzado en mayo de 2022, tiene como objetivo llenar un vacío en el mercado de carga aérea y reemplazar modelos más antiguos y menos eficientes. Está diseñado para cumplir con las crecientes demandas del comercio electrónico y moderno, que requieren entregas más rápidas a los mercados regionales. El E-Freighter ofrece más del 40% más de capacidad volumétrica, tres veces el alcance de grandes turbopropulsores de carga, y hasta un 30% menos de costos operativos en comparación con los narrowbodies más grandes. La capacidad de carga estructural máxima para el E190F es de 13,500 kg, combinando la capacidad bajo el suelo y en la cubierta principal.
엠브라에르의 E190F E-Freighter는 2024년 9월에 연방 항공청(FAA)으로부터 전체 인증을 받았습니다. 이 인증은 여객기에서 화물기로의 전환과 U.S. Cargo Systems에서 개발한 화물 적재 시스템을 포함합니다. E-Freighter는 7월에 브라질 국가 민간 항공청(ANAC)으로부터 이전에 인증을 받았으며, EASA 인증은 올해 말에 예상됩니다.
E190F 프로그램은 2022년 5월에 시작되어 항공 화물 시장의 격차를 줄이는 것을 목표로 합니다 및 구형의 비효율적인 모델을 대체합니다. 이 기체는 전자상거래 및 현대 무역의 변화하는 요구를 충족하도록 설계되어 있으며, 지역 시장에 대한 더 빠른 배송이 필요합니다. E-Freighter는 40% 이상의 부피 용량 증가, 대형 화물 터보프롭의 세 배에 달하는 항속 거리, 그리고 더 큰 항공기보다 최대 30% 낮은 운영비용을 제공합니다. E190F의 최대 구조 하중은 바닥 아래와 주 항공기 본체의 용량을 결합하여 13,500kg입니다.
