Here you go!




No, I don't mean stretching. I mean a larger fuselage about the same size as the 737, but using the design and technology of the E2.
The E2 design is already old...wings arent even composite...why upgrade to compete with yourself? There are less than 200 195-E2's on order, and it is doubtful it will be successful, especially up against the 220 series.

Why else would Boeing be interested in buying Embraer's commercial division? The regional aircraft market has never been their niche.
Simple, they got shamed into it by the success of the Airbus CS acquisition.
