N861RW

This airframe, registered as N861RW, is an Embraer-built regional jet entered into service in 2005 with serial number 17000094. The type certificate and manufacture identify it as an Embraer ERJ-170-100SE, produced by Embraer S.A. The airframe is owned by REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INC of Indianapolis, IN, and is registered in the US, with operational basing and fleet management aligned with Republic Airways' network. No public record of further ownership transfers or notable incidents is provided; the aircraft's age and configuration place it within the mid-life maintenance and asset management phase for ERJ-170 operators.

The airframe is outfitted in a 70-seat single-class, 2-2 abreast cabin layout consistent with regional jet short- to medium-haul operations, emphasizing high-density single-class service. Avionics fit is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite as is typical for E-Jets, supporting modern flight-deck automation, situational awareness, and airline operational integration. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include up to roughly 2,100 nm stage lengths at cruise speeds near 460 kts, connecting regional and thin trunk routes within a carrier network based out of Indianapolis. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect standard ERJ-170 practices—CF34-8E engine support, aging-airframe inspections for a 2005 build, and avionics lifecycle management for the Primus Epic fit.

The Embraer ERJ-170-100SE occupies the regional 70-seat market niche, offering higher capacity than typical 50-seat regional jets while remaining more economical on short to medium sectors than larger mainline narrowbodies. Competing models historically include 70-seat regional derivatives and smaller narrowbodies adapted to high-frequency routes. Demand among regional operators centers on fleet commonality, operating economics of the CF34 series, and resale considerations tied to airframe age and maintenance status; an ERJ-170 from 2005 will typically require updated maintenance tracking and potential avionics or cabin refreshes to maintain competitiveness in the secondary market.
