Embraer Celebrates Four-decade History
Source: fly-corporate.com
 40 years ago, on August 19, 1969, by Decree-Law number 770, Embraer - Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. was created as a mixed capital company under government control.
The purpose was to found a company capable of transforming science and technology, developed by the CTA and by the Aeronautics Technological Institute (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica - ITA) into engineering and industrial capacity.
Since the IPD 6504 project of the then-Aeronautics Technical Center (Centro Técnico de Aeronáutica - CTA), now the Aerospace Technology and Sciences Directorate (Diretoria de Ciência e Tecnologia Aeroespacial), from which the pioneering Bandeirante originated, to the company's current commercial, executive, and defense aircraft portfolio, Embraer has delivered around 5,000 airplanes to 88 countries on five continents.
