The static tests for the assembly of the fuselage-wing represent an important step in product certification campaign, which is planned to be certified in the first half of 2018.
At the time Embraer has held the roll-out of the first E190-E2, this aircraft is already carrying out several ground tests, which also included the first engine start Pratt & Whitney Pure Power. The estimated by Embraer at the time of roll-out is that the first unit starts to perform flights until July or August this year.
