Embraer was founded in 1969 by the Brazilian government as a national champion for domestic aerospace technology. It initially focused on supplying military aircraft to the Brazilian Air Force, but by the 1980s began producing a series of successful commuter and regional airliners for export. The company was privatized in 1994 and began expanding to the production of larger regional airliners and smaller business jets. In 2000, Embraer became public as a limited company (Sociedade Anônima) with its own shares publicly traded in both the United States (NYSE) and Brazil (B3).

Embraer has divisions for commercial, executive, military, and agricultural aviation; it also maintains an incubator for aerospace technologies and businesses. While the company continues producing aircraft for the defense sector, it is best known for the ERJ and E-Jet families of narrow-body short to medium range airliners, and for its line of business jets, including the market-leading Phenom 300.{{Cite news |title=Embraer Phenom 300 Marks 12 Consecutive Years As Bestselling Light Jet |publisher=aeronewsglobal |url=https://aeronewsglobal.com/embraer-phenom-300-is-the-worlds-best-selling-light-jet-for-a-12th-consecutive-year/ |access-date=20 July 2024}} As of May 2024, Embraer has delivered more than 8,000 aircraft, including 1,800 E-Jet planes.{{cite web |url=https://embraer.com/global/en/news?slug=1207382-embraer-delivers-1800th-e-jet |access-date=21 July 2024 |title=Embraer Delivers 1800th E-Jet |publisher=Embraer |archive-date=2 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240502223415/https://embraer.com/global/en/news?slug=1207382-embraer-delivers-1800th-e-jet}}

History

Seeking to develop a domestic aircraft industry, the Brazilian government under then President Getúlio Vargas' Estado Novo made several investments in the aerospace industry during the 1940s and 1950s.{{Citation |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gWhk65rEU-4C&pg=PA156 |publisher=OECD |title=Territorial Reviews |place=Madrid, ES |pages=156–57, 264 |year=2007 |isbn=978-92-64-03848-6}} However, it was not until 1969, following the establishment of the Brazilian military dictatorship after the 1964 coup d'état, that Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica (Brazilian Aeronautics Corporation, short Embraer) was created as a government-owned corporation.{{cite book |title=A Dictionary of Aviation |first=David W. |last=Wragg |isbn=9780850451634 |edition=first |publisher=Osprey |year=1973 |page=119}}{{Citation |title=History of Embraer |type=official site |url=https://historicalcenter.embraer.com/global/en/history |url-status=live |contribution= |contribution-url= |place=BR |publisher=Embraer}}. Its first president, Ozires Silva, was a government appointee, and the company initially only produced a turboprop passenger aircraft, the Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante.{{cite web |url=http://epocanegocios.globo.com/Informacao/Visao/noticia/2012/12/ozires-silva.html |date=28 January 2014 |access-date=24 October 2014 |title=Ozires Silva |publisher=Época Negócios |language=pt}} The city of São José dos Campos was chosen to host the company's headquarters because it had already hosted, since 1950, the Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA), the first higher education institution in Brazil dedicated to the aerospace sector.{{cite web |url=https://journalofwonder.embraer.com/br/pt/28-brasileiros-notaveis-alunos-do-ita-nosso-parceiro-estrategico |date=8 February 2019 |access-date=28 December 2024 |title=Brasileiros notáveis alunos do ITA, nosso parceiro estratégico |language=pt-br}}{{cite web |url=https://news.mit.edu/2015/two-school-foundings-link-mit-advances-brazilian-education-0319 |title=Two school foundings, 63 years apart, link MIT with advances in Brazilian education |website=Massachusetts Institute of Technology}}

=Early growth=

The Brazilian government contributed to Embraer's early growth by providing production contracts.{{Citation |contribution-url=http://www.centrohistoricoembraer.com.br/en-US/HistoriaEmbraer/Pages/Historico.aspx |contribution=History |publisher=Embraer |title=Historical Center |type=official site |place=BR |access-date=2012-12-26 |archive-date=2017-04-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170428194524/http://www.centrohistoricoembraer.com.br/en-US/HistoriaEmbraer/Pages/Historico.aspx |url-status=dead}}. The company sold solely to the domestic market until 1975.

While military aircraft made up the majority of Embraer's products during the 1970s and early 1980s, including the Embraer AT-26 Xavante and the Embraer EMB 312 Tucano,{{Citation needed|date= October 2010}} it debuted a regional airliner, the Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante, which made its first flight in 1968,{{Citation |url=https://skybrary.aero/aircraft/e110.main?id=196 |title=The Embraer EMB110 Bandeirante |publisher=Sky Library}}{{Dead link|date=September 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}. and the Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia, launched in 1985.{{Citation |url=http://www.airliners.net/aircraft-data/stats.main?id=196 |title=The Embraer EMB120 Brasilia |publisher=Air liners}}. Aimed at the export market, the EMB family was the first in a series of highly successful small and regional airliners.

In addition to its own line of aircraft, beginning in 1974, Embraer was licensed by the United States' Piper Aircraft to develop, produce, and market its light airplanes,{{Citation |contribution-url=http://centrohistorico.embraer.com.br/en/historia-aeronaves/emb-710-carioca.htm |place=BR |title=Aircraft History |contribution=EMB 710 Carioca |publisher=Embraer History Center}}. as Brazil was one of the world's leading importers of small single- or twin-engine aircraft. Piper first put together knock-down kits in its U.S. factory for Embraer to then assemble and market in Brazil and Latin America. By 1978, most parts and components were being sourced by Embraer locally. The aircraft were sold as the EMB 820 Navajo (Piper Navajo Chieftain), EMB 810 Seneca (Piper Seneca III), EMB 720 Minuano (Cherokee Six), EMB 710 Carioca aircraft (Cherokee 235 Pathfinder) and the EMB 711 Corisco (Cherokee Arrow II). Between 1974 and 2000, nearly 2,500 license-built Pipers were produced by Embraer.

=Acquisition of Aerotec=

Aerotec S/A Indústria Aeronáutica was a design and manufacturing company founded in São José dos Campos in 1962 under the auspices of the Brazilian General Command for Aerospace Technology. Beginning in the late 1960s, the firm manufactured a two-seat trainer for the Brazilian Air Force, the Aerotec Uirapuru. A small number were also built for the civilian market, and others were exported to other Latin American countries.{{citation needed |date= April 2020}}

By 1980, Aerotec's main business was producing components for Embraer. However, around this time, the Brazilian Air Force became interested in an upgraded version of the Uirapuru. A prototype, designated Uirapuru II, was built; but, by the time it flew, the Air Force no longer required it. A small number were built for export. In 1987, the firm was sold to Embraer.

=Privatization=

Born from a Brazilian government plan and having been state-run, Embraer eventually started a privatisation process in 1992 alongside other state-run companies, such as Telebrás and Vale. Privatisation was a key policy of the economically liberal government of Fernando Collor, elected in the 1989 presidential election.{{Citation |title=Brazil on Road Peddling State-Owned Enterprises |edition=final |first=John |last=Eckhouse |newspaper=The San Francisco Chronicle |place=San Francisco, CA, US |date=January 12, 1991 |page=B.1}}.

Embraer was sold to private investors on December 7, 1994,{{cite journal |last1=Anuatti-Neto |first1=Francisco |last2=Barossi-Filho |first2=Milton |last3=Carvalho |first3=Antonio Gledson de |last4=Macedo |first4=Roberto |title=Os efeitos da privatização sobre o desempenho econômico e financeiro das empresas privatizadas |trans-title=The effects of privatization on the economic and financial performance of privatized companies |language=pt |journal=Revista Brasileira de Economia |date=June 2005 |volume=59 |issue=2 |doi=10.1590/S0034-71402005000200001 |doi-access=free}} which helped it avoid a looming bankruptcy. The Brazilian government retained interest through possession of golden shares, which allow it veto power.{{Citation |title=Corporate Governance |first1=Robert AG |last1=Monks |first2=Nell |last2=Minow |publisher=John Wiley & Sons |year=2008 |pages=356–59}} Embraer continued to win government contracts throughout the 2000s and 2010s.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}

=Initial public offerings=

In 2000, Embraer made simultaneous initial public offerings on the NYSE and BM&F Bovespa stock exchanges. As of 2008 its NYSE-traded shares were American depositary receipts representing four BM&F Bovespa shares and it was partially owned by the Bozano Group (11.10%), Previ (16.40%), Sistel (7.40%), Dassault Aviation (2.1%), EADS (2.1%), Thales (2.1%), Safran (1.1%), and the government of Brazil (0.3% and golden share), the remainder being publicly traded.

As of December 31, 2014 the shareholders with more than 5% of the company's capital were:{{Cite web |url=http://ri.embraer.com.br/show.aspx?idCanal=ltPlKaoPDWiQ1uj7aoUw6Q==&linguagem=en |title=Capital Ownership |publisher=Embraer |work=Investor Relations |access-date=2016-05-24 |archive-date=2012-02-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120213010711/http://ri.embraer.com.br/show.aspx?idCanal=ltPlKaoPDWiQ1uj7aoUw6Q==&linguagem=en |url-status=dead}}

=Product line expansion: military, regional and executive=

In the mid-1990s, the company pursued a product line focused on small commercial airplanes over the military aircraft that had previously made up the majority of its manufacturing. It soon expanded to the production of larger regional airliners in the 70–110 seat range, and smaller business jets.

By May 2019, Embraer considered developing a new family of turboprop regional airliners in the 50–70 seat range, complementing the E-Jet E2, so as to free engineering resources.{{cite news |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/embraer-still-eyeing-development-of-turboprop-famil-462231/ |title=Embraer still eyeing development of turboprop family |date=14 November 2019 |first=Jon |last=Hemmerdinger |work=Flightglobal}}{{cite news |title=No new turboprop from Embraer for now |url=https://leehamnews.com/2019/05/27/no-new-turboprop-from-embraer-for-now/ |work=Leeham News and Analysis |date=27 May 2019}} It would compete against older ATR and Dash 8 designs for 1.5 to 2 h flights over {{cvt|500-700|nmi|km}}.{{cite news |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/embraer-tweets-picture-of-conceptual-turboprop-hints-at-potential-design/140876.article |title=Embraer tweets picture of conceptual turboprop, hints at potential design |author=Jon Hemmerdinger |date=29 October 2020 |work=Flightglobal}} In August 2021, Embraer released a new configuration with quieter aft-mounted engines for a 70-90 seat aircraft, with the E-Jet cross-section, aiming for a 2022 launch and a 2027/2028 service entry.{{cite news |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/embraer-tweaks-turboprop-concept-to-have-aft-mounted-engines/145078.article |title=Embraer tweaks turboprop concept to have aft-mounted engines |author=Jon Hemmerdinger |date=13 August 2021 |work=Flightglobal}}

= Executive jets =

At the 2000 Farnborough Airshow, Embraer introduced the Legacy 600, a business jet variant of the Embraer Regional Jet, which entered service in 2002.{{Cite web |title=Embraer Executive Jets |url=https://www.bjtonline.com/company/embraer-executive-jets |access-date=2025-04-22 |website=Business Jet Traveler |language=en}} Embraer Executive Jets was created as a dedicated subsidiary in 2005. That same year, the Phenom 100 was envisioned as an air taxi similar to the Eclipse 500, competing with Cessna and Hawker Beechcraft. It was introduced in 2008 and is the basis of the larger Phenom 300. The midsize Legacy 450 and Legacy 500 were jointly developed as clean sheet designs, while the Lineage 1000 is a VIP version of the E190. In 2016, Embraer delivered its 1,000th executive jet and had a market share of 17% by volume, though it lacked an ultra-long-range large cabin jet.{{cite news |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/ebace-embraer-caps-16-year-run-with-1000th-deliver-424532/ |title=EBACE: Embraer caps 16-year run with 1,000th delivery |publisher=Flightglobal |date=17 May 2016}} In October 2018 Embraer announced two new business jets—the Praetor 500 in the midsize cabin category—and the Praetor 600 in the super midsize category.{{Cite web |work=Aviation Today |url=https://www.aviationtoday.com/2018/10/17/embraer-praetor-500600-make-public-debut-nbaa-2018/ |title=Embraer Praetor 500/600 Make Public Debut at NBAA 2018 |date=2018-10-17}}

=Military transport=

On April 19, 2007, Embraer announced it was considering the production of a twin-jet military transport. Work began in May 2009 with funding from the Brazilian Air Force.{{Citation |title=Portugal interested in Brazilian military cargo plane |publisher=BBC |newspaper=Monitoring European |date=February 1, 2010}}. Correios, the Brazilian postal service, has shown interest in buying this aircraft.{{Citation |url=http://www.monitormercantil.com.br/imprimir_noticia.asp?id2=44595 |title=Costa confirma projeto dos Correios com cargueiro C-390 |newspaper=Monitor Mercantil |date=August 28, 2007 |access-date=October 15, 2007 |archive-date=December 14, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071214092757/http://www.monitormercantil.com.br/imprimir_noticia.asp?id2=44595 |url-status=dead}}.{{Citation |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/09/04/216557/brazilian-postal-service-may-order-embraer-c-390-freighters.html |title=Brazilian postal service may order Embraer C-390 freighters |newspaper=Flight global |date=September 4, 2007 |access-date=October 15, 2007}}.

=Government subsidy controversy=

{{main|Bombardier Aerospace and Embraer S.A. government subsidy controversy}}

Brazil and Canada engaged in an international, adjudicated trade dispute over government subsidies to domestic plane-makers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The World Trade Organization determined that both countries had provided illegal subsidies to what were supposed to be privately owned industries. Brazil ran an illegal subsidy program, Proex, benefiting its national aviation industry from at least 1999–2000, and Canada illegally subsidized its indigenous regional airliner industry including in export contracts, comprising Bombardier Aerospace.

{{main|Boeing-Embraer joint venture}}

On July 5, 2018, a joint venture with Boeing was announced that would have resulted in Boeing owning 80% of Embraer's commercial aviation division.{{cite press release |title=Boeing and Embraer to Establish Strategic Aerospace Partnership to Accelerate Global Aerospace Growth |date=July 5, 2018 |url=http://boeing.mediaroom.com/2018-07-05-Boeing-and-Embraer-to-Establish-Strategic-Aerospace-Partnership-to-Accelerate-Global-Aerospace-Growth |publisher=Boeing}} This was seen as a reaction to Airbus' acquisition of a majority in the competing Bombardier CSeries the previous year.{{cite news |title=Boeing Is in Talks for Combination With Regional-Jet Maker Embraer |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-21/boeing-is-said-in-talks-to-acquire-embraer-wsj-reports |agency=Bloomberg |date=21 December 2017}} Under the 2018 plan, Embraer would retain its executive business jet and its defence business.{{cite news |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/embraer-boeing-agreement-lays-out-terms-of-proposed-452616/ |title=Embraer-Boeing agreement lays out terms of proposed joint venture |date=11 Oct 2018 |first=Jon |last=Hemmerdinger |work=Flightglobal}} The resulting division would be known as Boeing Brasil{{snd}}Commercial, though it was unclear whether the aircraft would be rebranded as Boeing models.{{cite news |last1=Rochabrun |first1=Marcelo |title=Boeing drops Embraer name from Brazil commercial jet division |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-embraer-m-a-boeing/boeing-drops-embraer-name-from-brazil-commercial-jet-division-idUSKCN1ST2O7 |work=Reuters |date=May 23, 2019 |language=en}}

On November 18, 2019, Boeing and Embraer announced another joint venture, at 49% and 51% respectively, to promote and develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium tactical transport aircraft; the resulting entity would be called Boeing Embraer – Defense and would begin operating after regulatory approvals and closing conditions.{{cite press release |url=https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2019-11-18-Boeing-Embraer-Defense-Joint-Venture-to-Develop-New-Markets-for-the-C-390-Millennium |title=Boeing Embraer – Defense Joint Venture to Develop New Markets for the C-390 Millennium |date=Nov 18, 2019 |publisher=Boeing}}
