The Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante ("pioneer" in Portuguese ) is a general purpose 15-21 passenger twin- Turboprop light transport Aircraft suitable for Military and Civil duties. It is manufactured by the Brazil ian corporation, Embraer . DESIGN AND PURPOSE The EMB 110 was designed by the French engineer Max Holste following the specifications of the IPD-6504 program set by the Brazilian Ministry of Aeronautics in 1965 . The goal was to create a general purpose aircraft, suitable for both civilian and military roles with a low operational cost and high reliability. On this measure, the EMB 110 has succeeded. Further development of the EMB 110 was halted by the manufacturer in order to shift focus to the larger, faster, and pressurized 30-seat EMB 120 Brasilia. PRODUCTION AND SERVICE The first military prototype, designated YC-95, was flown in October 1968 and production began the following year by the newly formed aircraft company Embraer . The passenger model first flew on August 9 , 1972 and entered commercial service on April 16 , 1973 with the now defunct Brazilian airliner Transbrasil . Over the next 21 years Embraer built 494 aircraft in numerous configurations for a variety of roles including:
Production was halted in 1990, as the EMB 110 had been superseded by the increasingly popular EMB120 . The EMB 110 remains widely used throughout with world, with an estimated 200 aircraft still in service on five continents. SPECIFICATIONS General characteristics (EMB 110P1A/41)
