Embraer emphasized that AI would fully control the aircraft, replacing traditional pilots, and highlighted the use of green technologies such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), electrification, or hydrogen for propulsion.
While Embraer has not committed to developing the jet, the concept was introduced to inspire the aviation industry to explore future innovations. Although not actively pursued since its release, the design aims to push the boundaries of possibility in aviation.
The introduction of fully autonomous aircraft is still a significant technical challenge, but with other aerospace companies also exploring similar concepts, many believe this technology could eventually revolutionize aviation.
