Production

The article writes:"The EMB 120 Brasilia and smaller EMB 110 Bandeirante are Embraer's only turboprop-driven aircraft in its civilian product line".Well, EMB 110 Bandeirante is out of production line, since 1980 decade.Agre22 (talk) 17:30, 9 May 2009 (UTC)agre22[reply]

Also, it should be noted that the EMB-121 Xingu is turboprop driven too, although its production ceased in 1987. 189.15.230.243 (talk) 00:23, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Design Family Origins

Hi folks. I corrected and revised information about the origins of EMB-120 design. Also removed the phrase "The design retained the T-tail and supercritical wing of the EMB 121 Xingu" because its completely false. Added link references. RobertoRMola (talk) 15:30, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

why is there no acute accent on the article name? The plane was named after Brazil's capital Brasília, written with the accent. 2804:14C:65D6:4C44:88E9:BF76:4C54:34D4 (talk) 15:41, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ask Embraer, not wikipedia. pt.wikipedia, maybe? --Marc Lacoste (talk) 16:04, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

there is even a note in pt.wikipedia (auto translate) : In the name of the airplane the word is spelled without accent acute: Brasilia . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] As can be seen from the technical data sheet of the airplane, [ 1 ] EMB 120 is the code that the manufacturer created to identify its product (airplane), while Brasilia (without acute accent) is the commercial name The manufacturer attributed to that product.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 16:06, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is the "Number built" field incorrect?

The Infobox lists the number of airplanes built as 354, but a 1991 news article says Embraer had delivered 500 Brasilias: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1991-08-28-9102020549-story.html. D271l (talk) 07:43, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I researched the subject. Most spotters production lists are ~350-360, one was 500 but with many duplicates. I found a reliable source for 357.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 09:50, 13 November 2021 (UTC)note I can't check the sun-sentinel url, it blocks EU users.[reply]
