Bei Airliners.net bin ich auf ein Bild einer Embraer 145 gestossen, die mit Winglets ausgerüstet ist.

Sollte die erste ERJ-145XR für Continental Express sein.

New Deliveries Expand Fleet and Reach

Continental Express operator ExpressJet Airlines, the worldwide launch

customer for the new Embraer ERJ-145XR regional jet, took delivery of the

first eight of its 104 firm orders in October, after aircraft certification by

the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

The fast, quiet ERJ-145XR has the same comfortable cabin layout as other

regional jets in the Continental Express fleet and features only window and

aisle seating. The new model, with a cruise speed of more than 500 miles per

hour, is powered by new Rolls-Royce AE-3007A1E engines, equipped with

auxiliary fuel tanks and fitted with winglets, the most visible change from

previous models.

The latest deliveries increase the total Continental Express operating

fleet to 186 aircraft, including 178 jets. Ten more ERJ-145XR deliveries are

planned through December, and the last eight turboprops are scheduled to exit

the fleet by year-end, as Continental Express completes its transition to all-

jet flying.

ich finde, dass die Winglets dem Flieger ein schöneres Aussehen geben!
