UTC Aerospace Systems congratulates Embraer on the rollout of the next-generation Embraer E190-E2. UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp.
UTC Aerospace Systems is a major supplier for the E2 jet, providing numerous new systems for the re-engined aircraft. The E190-E2 is one of three new airplanes that comprise the second generation of Embraer's E-Jets family.
"Embraer has been our valued customer for many years, and we are delighted to join them in commemorating this exciting milestone," said David Gitlin, president of UTC Aerospace Systems. "We are fully committed to supporting the E2 family of airplanes through entry into service and beyond."
UTC Aerospace Systems has been chosen by Pratt & Whitney as the exclusive nacelle provider for both engine models for Embraer's E2-Jet aircraft.
