Design and development

Initially called the MSJ (Mid-Size Jet), it can be configured to carry between 8 and 10 passengers. It can carry 8 passengers over convert|2800|nmi|km|-1, or four passengers over convert|3000|nmi|km|-3. Embraer has not committed to its manufacture, but has been reported to be accepting $90,000 letters of intent from potential customers, which would assure their place in the production queue.
