The Federal Aviation Administration has taken a step toward certifying Embraer’s Enhanced Takeoff System for its E2 aircraft. The available details do not identify the specific action.
Key details
- The system controls aircraft pitch and bank angle during takeoff.
- Embraer says the technology is intended to improve safety and enable increased takeoff weights.
Embraer’s Enhanced Takeoff System controls pitch and bank angle during takeoff.
Why it matters
The system’s focus on pitch and bank angle links automated control to two aspects of an aircraft’s takeoff profile. Embraer says the technology could also support higher takeoff weights on E2 aircraft.
What happens next
The FAA’s certification work marks a further step in the process for Embraer’s E2 takeoff technology. What capabilities would you most like to see in future commercial aircraft systems?
