They could possibly do something similar to what they’ve done with the 550, but it would still have to come in under 65,000 pounds to fly in the UAX system. I also think if it was done right people would fly on it if the ticket price was right and if they could board with a jetway. People sure haven’t avoided the Max.

Tell me you don’t have a good grasp on physics without telling me. . .

might be doable, especially if they don’t try to make it long range. Wings don’t have to support engine or store as much fuel. Gear doesn’t have to support it … the process feeds on itself. 50 seat / 750nm range clean sheet could be quite light.

"Embraer’s turboprop project is 'moving very well, especially with the recent interest of US airlines,' adds Embraer chief executive Francisco Gomes Neto."

Interesting statement, though what "recent interest" actually means is anyone's guess.

Not really. Especially if they’re geared for counter rotating

Needs a forward wing and pusher props. It could be the airline equivalent of the Piaggio. Super economical, right around straight-winged light jet speeds.
