This $61 million jet is Boeing's and Embraer's newest weapon against the Airbus A220
Hidden behind a wall of Embraer flags and the at the end of a winding red carpet is the E190-E2.
It's decked out in Embraer's shark-nose "Profit Hunter" paint scheme in reference to the E2's lower operating costs.
Here's a look at the E2 without all of the obstructions.
As you climb up the airstairs...
You can't help but notice the pair of Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines that power the jet. They are a major contributor to the E2's efficiency. It's also the same engine type that is used on the rival Airbus A220.
Step inside the cabin...
...The front galley is direct to your left.
Across from the galley is the front lavatory.
Mood lighting is all the rage these days and the E2 continues this trend.
The Embraer E190-E2 can be configured to anywhere from 97 to 114 passengers depending on seat pitch and configuration.
Unlike, the Airbus A320/Boeing 737, which boasts six-abreast seating, and the Airbus A220, which features five-abreast seating, the E2 has only four seats per row. Thatmeans, no middle seat.
Up front, the E2 is equipped with Honeywell's Primus Epic avionics suite.
