In an extended interview, Arjan Meijer, Embraer's new Commercial Aviation CEO sat down with The Air Current to discuss what it wants in a partner and its path to a new turboprop.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday granted its first post-grounding airworthiness certificate to a 737 Max, clearing the way for Boeing to resume deliveries, the U.S. aviation regulator confirmed.
With receding regional aviation competitors, Embraer studies a return to a market that hasn’t had the choice of an all-new product in decades. Unique quirks of the turboprop market and Embraer technology planning will pressure E3 market potential. Big leaps in efficiency of single-aisle jets compresses the list of small markets that need a big turboprop.
To try to make sense of what comes next for Boeing and the 737 Max, and what to avoid, we need to look backward again at McDonnell Douglas and its DC-10.
The FAA is poised to order the Boeing 737 Max ungrounded this week. American Airlines will lead the jet's return after the 20-month grounding. Embraer's conceptual hybrid-electric STOUT for the Brazilian Air Force breaks cover and looks even more interesting than its E3 turboprop study. Apple's path to developing its new ultra-efficient M1 chip is an instructive guide for the strategic future of green aviation.

Boeing floats a new 200 to 250-seater single-aisle, while its most important customer eyes 150 seaters.
Airbus tells suppliers to be ready for a 2021 rate increase, while Mitsubishi nears shelving its SpaceJet.
Looking closely at Boeing's 20-year outlook, China's first jetliner gets its first real slice of the demand pie.
Deteriorating U.S., China relations loom over Boeing and its 737 Max recertification.
