The Embraer 145, initially named "Amazon", was logical development of the EMB-12X family and also the response to the sector which was becoming dominated by the Canadair Regional Jet. Essentially, the Embraer 145 is a "Brasilia" airframe with two fuselage plugs fore and aft of the wing, a newly designed supercritical wing and a modified tail.
