Brazilian Aircraft maker Embraer saw a 28% growth in sales of its E-jet line alone, delivering 204 jets and leaving a backlog of 249 firm orders worth more than US$15 Billion. Though Embraer is Brazil´s only manufacturer of this scale it is notable in terms of economic development since the company depends on a massive supply chain to support its manufacturing effort.

 

2011 also saw Embraer literally fly into China with Jackie Chan. Embraer hired the enormously popular Chan as its “ambassador” to the people´s republic. Chan will take delivery this month of an Embraer corporate jet and will speak from personal experience touting the product. 

Embraer E-jet family of commercial jets already criss-cross the skies of china so Chan will focus on the company´s Legacy and Phenom corporate jets. Brazil joins the exclusive club of countries selling manufactured goods to China, known as an exporter of manufactured goods and as a buyer of raw materials only.

Embraer also joined another, even more exclusive and sophisticated club in 2011 with the sale of 20 Super Tucano Light Air Support Aircraft(LAS) worth US $355 to the United States Air Force. The Super Tucanos will be used for pilot training and support missions, but are capable of combat roles including the delivery of precision guided munitions, according to mission requirements. There are few if any other countries currently selling combat aircraft to the United States military, the land of Boeing, Lockheed, General Dynamics and others.
