Embraer is known as one of the world's largest aviation manufacturers. The Brazilian government initially founded Embraer to begin developing a wide variety of domestic aerospace technology. It later expanded to produce technology and aircraft to be used domestically and exported to other countries. Its product lines range from commercial regional jets, like the Embraer ERJ and E-jet families, to large military transport aircraft or trainer aircraft that are utilized by the Brazilian military and other armed forces across the world.
