The shocking new Embraer E190-E2 “show” aircraft wows travelers with its painted shark exterior, but the surprises continue upon entering.

The show plane has flown all over the globe on a world tour to represent Brazil’s Embraer E2 series, a line of aircraft that rivals the Airbus A220 in a few distinct ways.

The E190-E2 features more legroom for passengers and a seating configuration that completely eradicates the dreaded middle seat. Seats are arranged two by two, and passengers are assigned to either a window or an aisle seat. In the premium cabin, seats are staggered to offer an element of privacy.

The interior is designed to evoke the feeling of a wide-body aircraft with increased ceiling and wall space. Other features include larger framed windows that allow more light into the cabin and overhead bins with 40 percent more space for storage.

The aircraft also features enhanced fuel efficiency due to its high-aspect-ratio wing design and lighter overall body weight.

Even after the show plane’s world tour comes to an end, other models of the Embraer E2 jets will take off for regular service in locations such as Norway (with Widerøe) and the United States (with SkyWest).
