Embraer

Embraer S.A. is a Brazilian aerospace conglomerate that produces commercial, military, executive and agricultural aircraft and provides aeronautical services. It is headquartered in São José dos Campos, São Paulo State. The company is the third largest producer of civil aircraft, after Boeing and Airbus.
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica (Embraer) was created in 1969 as a government-owned corporation. The Brazilian Government contributed to Embraer's early growth by providing production contracts. The company sold solely to the domestic market until 1975.
In 1992 Embraer started a privatization process along with many other state-controlled companies in Brazil. Embraer was sold on December 7, 1994, which helped it avoid a looming bankruptcy. The company continued to win government contracts throughout the 2000s and 2010s.
In the mid-1990s, the company pursued a product line more focused on small commercial planes over the military aircraft that had previously made up the majority of its manufacturing. It soon expanded to the production of larger regional airliners, with 70–110 seats, and smaller business jets. Today, the company manufactures for both defense and commerce.
Embraer jets:
ERJ family: ERJ 135, ERJ 140 and ERJ 145,
E-jet family: a series of narrow-body medium-range twin-engine jet airliners, including 170 (66–78 passengers), 175 (76–88 passengers), 190 (96–114 passengers) and 195 (100–124 passengers),
E-jet E2 family: 175-E2 (80–90 passengers), 190-E2 (97–114 passengers) and 195-E2 (120–146 passengers),
Business jets: Phenom 100, Phenom 300, Legacy 450, Legacy 500, Legacy 600, Legacy 650, Praetor 500, Praetor 600 and Lineage 1000 (19 passengers),
Military jets: e.g. R-99 (early warning and control), EMB 312 Tucano (trainer, in licence by Short).

Embraer and Boeing

After Airbus acquired a majority of the competing Bombardier CSeries on October 16, 2017, Boeing started takeover talks with the 18,000 employee strong Embraer. On December 22, 2017, Brazilian president Michel Temer said the sale of Embraer to Boeing was "out of the question", adding that the government is in favor of a partnerships with the company, but warning that it will veto changes in stock control.
On July 5, 2018, a Memorandum of Understanding for a strategic partnership was announced. For $3.8 billion Boeing will hold 80% of a joint venture for Embraers's airliners and services (valued at $4.75 billion), and Embraer will own the remaining 20%. On December 6, a Brazilian federal court forbade the joint venture, as it would give the profitable airliner division away for free and would remove it from Brazilian Government control.
On November 18, 2019, Boeing (49%) and Embraer (51%) announced a joint venture to promote and develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium tactical transport aircraft, named Boeing Embraer - Defense, to operate after the regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
On December 17, 2018, a strategic partnership of Boeing and Embraer was announced, subject to Brazilian Government, shareholder and regulatory approval. Boeing will pay $4.2 billion for its 80% stake in the joint venture, valuing Embraer $5.25 billion. On December 20, 2018, in response to Embraer's union class action, the same judge of the Federal Court blocked the proposed sale again as "the brutal asymmetry in the shareholder structure of this venture prevents it from being carried out without compromising the survival of national interests", an injunction contested by Embraer. On December 22, the injunction was overturned by the president of the Federal Court (saying it was outside the court's purview), allowing the proposed sale to proceed. On January 10, 2019, the new Brazilian government approved as it would "maintain the current jobs in Brazil", while no commitment was made before. On February 26, 2019, the partnership was approved by Embraer's shareholders. Embraer and Boeing announced the acquisition of an 80% share of Embraer's commercial division, which would market the E-Jet and E-Jet E2 series of narrow-body short-to medium-range twin-engine jet airliners. On May 23, Boeing announced that the division will be known as "Boeing Brasil - Commercial", dropping the Embraer name.
On April 24, 2020, Boeing terminated the planned joint ventures, saying that Embraer did not satisfy the conditions established in their agreement. Industry analysts said that the $4.2 billion deal became unbalanced as Embraer's market value fell to less than $1.1 billion as air travel demand dropped as a result of the impact of the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic on aviation. Industry analysts speculated that Boeing may have also cancelled the deal because it had recently been awarded a U.S. government pandemic relief loan, and wanted to avoid making the impression that funds intended to support U.S. jobs were instead used to secure a deal with a Brazilian firm. Embraer rejected Boeing's reasons for the termination of the deal and said the company "has manufactured false claims as a pretext to seek to avoid its commitments" because of its financial condition after the 737 MAX groundings and "other business and reputational problems.

Embraer Legacy and Embraer Praetor

The Embraer Legacy 450/500 and Praetor 500/600 are a family of mid-size and super mid-size business jets built by Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer. The aircraft family was launched with the Legacy 500 in April 2008 and were the first jets in the size category to feature a flat-floor stand-up cabin and fly-by-wire.
The Praetor 500 and 600 are improvements of the Legacy 450 and 500, respectively, that were introduced in October 2018 offering more range. The Praetor 600 has a range of 4,018 nmi (7,440 km), while the Praetor 500 has a range of 3,340 nmi (6,190 km). Embraer introduced improved variants at the October 2018 NBAA convention, the Praetor 500 and 600, presented on display, with 3,250 nmi (6,019 km) and 3,900 nmi (7,223 km) of range; the 600 should be certified in the second quarter of 2019 and the 500 in the third quarter of 2019. Both have 22 by 50 in (56 by 127 cm) taller and wider winglets. The $17 million Praetor 500 boosts the fuel capacity of the Legacy 450 from 12,108 to 13,058 lb (5,492 to 5,923 kg) to match the Legacy 500. The $21 million Praetor 600 is based on the Legacy 500 with two tanks on the fuselage belly for 2,928 lb (1,328 kg) more fuel for a 15,986 lb (7,251 kg) capacity, and more powerful 7,528 lbf (33.49 kN) HTF7500E engines.
Praetor 600 flight testing began on 31 March 2018 and 300h were logged with three aircraft by October 2018, while the Praetor 500 flight tests began on 13 September 2018 with 80h accumulated. The synthetic vision system has a flight guidance system for CAT I airports approach with SBAS, allowing decision height to be reduced from 200 to 150 ft (61 to 46 m). Within US SBAS zones, the synthetic vision guidance system (SVGS) allows autopilot-flown instrument approaches down to 150 ft (46 m) height and 1,300 ft (400 m) RVR without the optional Rockwell Collins EVS and HUD.
Previous Legacy 450s can be upgraded to the Praetor 500 configuration for $500,000. For the higher thrust Praetor 600, Honeywell maintenance plans increases to $294 per engine per hour. Active load alleviation deflects both ailerons upward at 2.0 Gs to prevent overstressing the wing without adding structural weight. At FL410, ISA-7°C to -14°C and Mach 0.77 (442 kn; 818 km/h) cruise, the Praetor 600 burns 1,760 lb (800 kg) of fuel per hour at a weight of 40,500 lb (18,400 kg), increasing to 1,800 to 1,900 lb (820 to 860 kg) at Mach 0.794 (455 kn; 843 km/h) max cruise.
The Praetor 600 was certified by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil by April 2019. Its range with four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves reached 4,018 nmi (7,441 km) from a 4,436 ft (1,352 m) take-off, and 3,719 nmi (6,887 km) at Mach 0.80. European and US certification were secured by May. The first delivery, to a European customer, happened on 28 June 2019.
The Praetor 500 received its Brazilian type certificate in August, achieving a 3,340 nautical miles (6,186 km) range, 466 kn (863 km/h) high-speed cruise, a takeoff within 4,222 ft (1,287 m) and a landing within 2,086 ft (636 m). This was followed by the EASA and FAA approval by the end of September. On 23 December, the first was delivered to fractional operator Flexjet, two months after signing for 64 jets, including Praetor 500/600s and light Phenom 300Es.

At the August 2007 NBAA convention, Embraer unveiled a cabin mock-up of two concepts (Legacy 450 and Legacy 500) positioned between the $7 million Phenom 300 and the $26 million Legacy 600.
The Legacy 450 first flight occurred on 28 December 2013. It received its Brazilian certification on 11 August 2015. It was certified by the FAA shortly after on 31 August 2015. It can carry 7-9 passengers.
