Abstract

This research aims to analyze technical performance and propose several solutions related to feasibility and operational cost efficiency. The Embraer E190-E2 has garnered attention as a modern regional aviation solution. This study aims to analyze the technical performance, operational feasibility, and cost efficiency (CASK) of the Embraer E190-E2, specifically for short flight routes in the Indonesian archipelago. Furthermore, this review evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the aircraft if operated for strategic military needs or as VIP/state official transport. Primary data were extracted from technical flight documents, namely the Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM), manufacturer specifications, and the Flight Controls module. Through aerodynamic analysis, Fly-by-Wire (FBW) integration, and take-off modeling at Sea Level (SL) conditions, the results show that the E190-E2 is highly efficient for routes under 500 nautical miles (nm) as it only requires a runway length of 1,150 meters. From the military and VIP perspectives, the hybrid control system design provides a high level of reliability and comfort, although the lack of a rear loading ramp limits its function as a heavy military cargo transport aircraft
