New turboprop: Embraer takes the pace out of the project

The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer is delaying the ambitious project to bring a newly developed turboprop aircraft onto the market. The concept was actually received extremely positively on the market, but the pace is now being slowed down.

When asked, the manufacturer explained that it believes that the time is not right to launch a next-generation turboprop aircraft. But that shouldn't be the final end. Embraer believes that a new generation turboprop aircraft would be a success as there is strong demand for a modern next generation turboprop aircraft in the 150 seater market.
