MAAS Aviation, an expert in aircraft painting and exterior coatings, has painted Embraer’s latest Profit Hunter, the E195-E2 ‘Tech Eagle’.
The repainting project was completed at MAAS’ facility in Maastricht, The Netherlands, last month.
An experienced team of 38 painters worked for 15 days to ensure the unique livery was ready to be unveiled at the Dubai Airshow 2023.
The success of this project is testament to the professional and supportive collaboration between the expert teams at Embraer, MAAS and AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings.
On completion, Richard Marston, MAAS Aviation CCO, said: “I would like to thank everyone involved in this project for their outstanding performance, the end result speaks for itself, you should all be very proud. I also extend my gratitude to our partners at Embraer for entrusting us to deliver this spectacular and iconic design.”
The Tech Eagle is the latest predator-themed livery from Embraer, following their shark, lion and snow leopard designs.
Darragh Hall, Jnr, Graphics Manager at MAAS said: “It was a great opportunity to be involved in this exciting yet challenging project. The Embraer team approached everything with the same ‘solutions, not problems’ attitude and were a pleasure to work alongside.
“This shared approach coupled with the experience of our inhouse painting team, resulted in the delivery of another fantastic livery.”
Embraer explained the origin of the design when the livery was launched: “In recognition of the growing number of E2 customers around the world, we painted the E2 with this striking livery reflecting the aircraft’s high-tech features and outstanding performance. Like an eagle, the E2 flies efficiently and quietly.”
AkzoNobel is a longstanding partner to both MAAS and Embraer, with this project marking the sixth time it has worked on a predator-themed livery with the Brazilian OEM. The E2 Tech Eagle livery is the most complicated of these projects to date and required over 14 different colours of its Aerodur 3001 Basecoat/Clearcoat system to achieve the spectacular finish.
