Embraer non si limitera' alla motorizzazione, ma cambiera' il design delle ali e introdurra' l'ultima versione dei controlli fly-by-wire. Non e' ancora' deciso se l'E170 sara' incluso nell'upgrade e se ci sara' un ulteriore stretch dell'E-195.

"Instead, the Brazilian airframer will in the near-term introduce an improved version of the 76-seat E-175. The new version with a second-generation winglet is scheduled for delivery in March 2014, with an overall fuel savings estimate of 5%. Embraer plans to rely on the improved version of the first-generation to compete with Bombardier until the second-generation E-Jet."

Tiè, così oltre che inutili, saranno pure vecchi prima del tempo i nostri.
