[edit] 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 2,800 nautical miles (5,190 km), or four passengers over 3,000 nautical miles (6,000 km). 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.[1]
