Embraer E175-E2
The Embraer E175-E2 is the second-generation update of the popular E175 regional jet, fitted with new, more fuel-efficient geared-turbofan engines and an updated wing. Despite the improvements, it has sold in far smaller numbers than its E175 predecessor, largely because of scope-clause agreements at some airlines that limit the weight and seating capacity of regional jets flown by their regional partners. Like the rest of the E2 family, it shares a strong family resemblance with the original E-Jets while offering meaningfully lower fuel burn. It illustrates how airline labour agreements, not just technology, can shape which aircraft actually get ordered.
