Embraer ERJ145
Your answers
Field marks
- Rear-fuselage engines and a T-tail mark it (and the CRJ) apart from any E-Jet, which has underwing engines and a conventional tail — the classic regional-jet split
- Absolute length (29.9 m) is unremarkable, but the fuselage is unusually narrow for its length, giving it a pencil-thin, stretched look despite carrying only 50 seats
- Long, needle-like pointed nose, inherited from the EMB-120 Brasilia turboprop this family was derived from
- A visible APU exhaust pipe protrudes from the tailcone below the fin — look for it to separate a distant ERJ145 from a similarly shaped CRJ200

Variant notes
- Descended from the shorter ERJ135/140 (not in this dataset) — all three share the same slim 2.28 m fuselage cross-section and nose
- Cabin seats one-and-two across the single aisle (three abreast total), not the usual two-and-two or three-and-three of larger jets
- United and several regional carriers are winding down their ERJ145 fleets, but SkyWest, Envoy, and international operators keep it common through the late 2020s
