Embraer EMB 135LR

The ERJ 135 is a member of the Embraer ERJ 145 family. It’s a twin-engine regional jet produced by Embraer, a Brazilian aerospace company. The Long Range (LR) version of the ERJ 135 can carry a full load of passengers up to 1,750 nm (3,243 km).

ERJ-Development

The ERJ-145 was designed for a perceived new market for regional jet aircraft, where the increased speed, comfort, and passenger appeal would outweigh the inherent fuel economy of the turboprop aircraft that were in service and in development. In order to reduce the development cost, it used the EMB120 nose and the same fuselage cross-section.

Engines

The EMB-145 Family of aircraft generally comes equipped with two Rolls-Royce AE 3007 series turbofan engines. The engines have a bypass ratio of 5:1. The engines are controlled by two FADECs (Full Authority Digital Engine Controls). The FADECs control virtually all aspects of the engine and send engine data to be displayed on the EICAS for the pilot.

Avionics

The Embraer ERJ 145 Family typically comes equipped with the Honeywell Primus 1000 Avionics suite. The suite normally consists of five CRT display units (DUs) or screens. From left to right, the system consists of a Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi-Function Display (MFD), Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS), Multi-Function Display (MFD) (Co-pilot) and Primary Flight Display (PFD) (Co-pilot). The DUs are normally CRTs but can be upgraded to lighter LCDs. These upgraded DUs also have added functionality.
