MAAS Aviation, a global leader in aircraft painting and coatings, has revealed the recently painted Embraer E195-E2 ‘Tech Eagle’ – the latest Profit Hunter in Embraer’s line-up. Completed at MAAS’ flagship facility in Maastricht, The Netherlands, this repainting project involved a dedicated team of 38 painters working around the clock for 15 days. The unique livery was unveiled at the Dubai Airshow 2023.
The project’s success reflects the seamless collaboration between Embraer, MAAS and AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings. Richard Marston, MAAS Aviation CCO, expressed gratitude to all involved, stating, “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.”
Embraer’s Tech Eagle joins the ranks of predator-themed liveries, following designs inspired by sharks, lions and snow leopards. Darragh Hall, Jnr, Graphics Manager at MAAS, highlighted the exciting yet challenging nature of the project, emphasising the shared problem-solving approach between Embraer and MAAS.
MAAS Production Coordinators Andrzej Calus and Adam Buczek underscored the complexity of the detailed paint job, with Calus noting the meticulous planning required, and Buczek highlighting the challenges of applying flat design drawings to the curved surface of the aircraft. Despite the difficulties, the team is thrilled with the final result.
