Embraer 175 (long wing)
The Embraer E175 long-wing variant fits a larger wing, shared with the bigger E190/E195, onto the E175's fuselage, trading some fuel efficiency for improved payload and range over the standard short-wing model. US regional airlines, bound by union scope-clause weight limits that cap how large a regional jet mainline carriers can operate on their behalf, favour this configuration specifically because it stays under those weight limits. That regulatory quirk has made it, in specific trim, one of the most widely ordered regional jet configurations in North America.
