History

On October 2001 Embraer opened a plant on the Aerodrome of Gavião Peixoto, near Araraquara, to house the final assembly of aircraft and to test equipment and technology. For this purpose, Embraer built runway 02/20 with 4,967 x 45 m, considered to be the longest public use runway in the Americas and the fifth longest in the world. Even so, only 3,000 m are actually used. Embraer offers customer support for its clientele on the site.

The plant manufactures the wings of the Embraer 190 and 195, the Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano and Embraer KC-390 aircraft, the refurbishing of the Northrop F-5 of the Brazilian Air Force, and since 2008 the final assembly of Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 aircraft.[3]

gollark: I have 34Mbps up, 8Mbps down, which is not ideal but usable.
gollark: Some people don't even have a publicly routable IP.
gollark: Also CGNAT now.
gollark: Like I said, it's not really very hard to do that (at least at a small scale, making stuff run with the volume of data Facebook deals with is a different issue), the hurdles are more, er, social and possibly legal.
gollark: The average person really does not want to do anything remotely complicated with a computer, which is problematic, and it doesn't really *help* that a bunch of stuff (down to the balance of upload/download speeds available on home network connections) on the internet is set up now to encourage using big walled gardens and discourage running your own stuff.
