Incredible footage shows the moment an Embraer E195-E2 Profit Hunter takes off looking like it is about head straight into outer space.
Created by Brazilian aviation company Embraer the E195-E2 Profit Hunter is a special bit of kit.
Just how special is expertly shown in this clip that was shared online.

The Embraer E195-E2 Profit Hunter looks unbelievably cool during takeoff
In the footage, which was filmed and shared on the In The Air With Paul – @intheairwithpaul – Instagram account, the Embraer E195-E2 Profit Hunter can be seen making a steep ascent as it takes off.
If you’re into this sort of thing, give Paul’s whole channel a look – it’s full of stuff like this.
The spectacular-looking plane smoothly leaves the runway before flying almost vertically as though its planning on heading right to the stars.
We’ve previously seen a Embraer ERJ-190 making a very high-stakes landing, skimming over onlookers.
The E195-E2 Profit Hunter was first unveiled to the world back in 2017 at the Paris Air Show – with the first units being delivered in 2019.
Branding the plane ‘a force with nature’, Embraer says the E2 Profit Hunter ‘will have a huge role to play’ as the aviation industry moves towards becoming more sustainable.
The plane is a mean, green, flying machine
The plane does have some very impressive green credentials to back that up.
Embraer says its E195-E2 is the most fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft in service today.
Compared to its older E-jet planes, the E195-E2 uses 20 percent less fuel and has cut emissions by 25 percent.
The planes are also able to run on a 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blend.
Its slightly cheeky ‘Profit Hunter’ name is in recognition of its efficiency, which the company says helps boost its profits.
Not only that, but it looks really cool, doesn’t it?
The tech-inspired livery that you see on the plane in the clip was introduced late last year and is officially named ‘Tech Eagle’.
“Introducing the E195-E2 Tech Eagle Profit Hunter! The striking livery reflects the E2’s high-tech features and outstanding performance,” the company said in a statement at the time.
The design features a black base with blue tech patterns and an eagle design on the nose – and it goes without saying it looks extraordinary when the plane is in action.
In the past, the E195-E2 have sported animal-inspired livery, including a shark and a lion – but we reckon this one looks the best.
