Special characteristics or variants
There are many sub-variants within each ICAO Type, however, many of these are no longer in service and would serve as historical aircraft.
E135
The E135 type designator includes the baseline ERJ135ER, a long-range variant (ERJ135LR), and a slight stretch (ERJ140).
The Embraer Legacy 600 business jet is based on the E135 platform and has ICAO Type E35L
E145
The E145 type has even more slight variations based on increases in MTOW, fuel capacity, or engines.
E45X
The E45X type contains the extra-long range variant of the ERJ145, namely the ERJ145XR which is the most common type still in use.
