EMBRAER: SU, STD, IGW, ECJ : What does it mean? Please Help!

What does SU, STD, IGW, ECJ means on the E-Jet models?

Thank you for the help!

I have no idea. We try to keep things as simple as possible here and only include sub-types when there is a physical difference in the aircraft.

Wish you luck with your question.

This can be a part of the answer.

I'm quoting from Viscount724's post

One other issue is that, as far as the FAA is concerned, there is no ERJ-175 or E-175. The type certificate refers to the 170 as the ERJ-170-100 and the 175 as the ERJ-170-200. The 190 is the ERJ-190-100 and the 195 is the ERJ-190-200.

Technically, ERJ-175 and -195 are only marketing names with no official status.

Following related footnotes from the FAA type certificate data sheets for the 170 and 190:

The Models ERJ 170-100 xx and ERJ 170-200 xx are often referred to in Embraer marketing

literature as the “Embraer 170 xx and Embraer 175 xx”, respectively, with the appropriate model

(LR, STD, etc.) substituted for the “xx”. This name is strictly a marketing designation and is not

part of the official model designations.

The Model ERJ 190-100 xx and ERJ 190-200 xx are often referred to in Embraer marketing literature as

the “Embraer 190 xx” and Embraer 195 xx respectively, with the appropriate model (LR, STD, etc.)

substituted for the “xx”. These names are strictly marketing designations and are not part of the official

model designations. The exceptions to this rule are the Models ERJ 190-100 IGW and ERJ 190-200

IGW, which have been given the marketing designation Embraer 190 AR and Embraer 195 AR

respectively.

The ERJ 190-100 ECJ model is frequently mentioned in Embraer publicity literature as “Lineage1000”.

=============

This has been something that has bothered me for a while and it would go a long way in explaining the confusion of some Embraer types on the database.

Thank you! :)

I will be updating the data base this week to incorporate the following changes.

Embraer 170 (ERJ-170-100)

Embraer 175 (ERJ-170-200)

Embraer 190 (ERJ-190-100)

Embraer 195 (ERJ-190-200)

Other E-jets will follow in due course
