Embraer: An Ugly Duckling Finds Its Wings
Embraer engineers came up with a new fuselage design it called "double
bubble" that allows plenty of head space, legroom, and luggage space,
and eliminates the middle seat. More than 40 airlines provided input. That
innovation has pushed Embraer ahead of archrival Bombardier of Canada
and set the stage for an ambitious move into executive jets.
