The Embraer E195-E2 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1900G geared turbofan engines with a 73-inch (190 cm) fan diameter and a 12:1 bypass ratio. The fan is approximately 21 inches (53 cm) wider than the General Electric CF34-10E it replaced on the first-generation E195. Fitting an engine that large under the wing of a regional jet that sits close to the ground required Embraer to redesign the wing, the landing gear, and the gear retraction system around the engine rather than simply bolting a bigger powerplant onto the existing airframe.
