N740YX

This entry covers Embraer E-Jet airframe N740YX, a regional jet built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 17000544. The airframe is an Embraer 175LR (marketed as the ERJ-170-200LR) produced by Embraer S.A. and is owned by Republic Airways Inc of Indianapolis, IN, US, operating on a US registry. As a relatively recent 2016-build E175LR, the airframe sits within the late-production E‑Jet cohort and reflects standard operator installations and mission equipment used by Republic/United regional operations.

The cabin of N740YX is fitted in a typical United/Republic dual‑class 76‑seat layout (12/64) configured for E175LR operations, supporting a mixture of premium and main‑cabin regional passengers. Avionics are the Honeywell Primus Epic common to the E‑Jet line and operator installations, providing integrated flight deck systems and standard navigation/communication capabilities. With a 2,200 nm range and a cruise speed around 480 knots, the airframe is optimized for regional and short‑to‑medium haul trunk routes operated from Republic Airways’ Indianapolis base; typical mission profiles include high-frequency, short‑stage sectors feeding mainline hubs. The twin CF34‑8E5 engines are a known spare‑parts and maintenance focal point for line and heavy checks under regional operator programs.

As an Embraer 175LR variant within the E‑Jet family, the airframe occupies the regional jet performance niche for operators needing 70–80 seat capacity with transregional range and mainline-compatible interiors. The E175LR’s combination of the CF34‑8E5 powerplants, Honeywell Primus Epic avionics fit, and commonality across E‑Jet operator fleets supports continued demand among regional carriers for fleet standardization and operational flexibility. For this particular airframe — a 2016-build with documented registry under Republic Airways — maintenance and resale considerations center on engine program status, airframe hours/cycles and cabin configuration compatibility with mainline partners.
