Notes

Liaison and trainer aircraft. In service since 1977. Coupled EMB-110 Bandeirante wings and engines with a new fuselage. The major customer was the French Armée de LAir. Several derivations, including the EMB-120 Brasilia as regional airliner and the EMB-123 Tapajas. Last development EMB-121B Xingu 2 with more powerful engines, more seat capacity, stretched fuselage and wing span. Production ceased in 1987 after 105 aircraft were built. EMB-121B Xingu 2: Wing span 14,83 m MTOW 6140 kg.
