The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed additional requirements for Embraer’s Enhanced Takeoff System, or E2TS, on the E195-E2. The system manages aircraft rotation and the initial climb during takeoff.
Key details
- E2TS engages when pilots set the thrust levers for takeoff; pilots steer along the runway while the system manages wing leveling, rotation and initial climb.
- The proposal addresses sensor inaccuracies and operating tolerances associated with the system.
- Embraer would demonstrate system performance at varied aircraft weights, loading, temperatures and airport elevations, including a takeoff with one engine inoperative.
- The public-comment period runs through November 27, 2026.
- Embraer presented E2TS at the Farnborough International Airshow in July 2024.
The proposed demonstrations would cover varied aircraft weights, loading, temperatures and airport elevations.
Why it matters
The proposal sets out how Embraer would show that E2TS performs across different aircraft and airport conditions. Embraer has said the system could improve takeoff performance at certain airports and reduce pilot workload.
What happens next
The proposal’s comment period remains open through November 27, 2026, as Embraer’s E2TS moves through the review process. What operating conditions would you most want to see included in an aircraft-system evaluation?
