I'd rather find out who you are
Than who you're not

Правила тут у нас простые. Курить – разрешается, употреблять – милости просим, можно заниматься сексом с кем и с чем угодно, в том числе с собой, можно ходить в каком угодно виде и демонстративно поклоняться любым богам и идеям1, можно выбирать себе пол, возраст, внешность, национальность и звучание голоса. Вот только хамить не надо. Не люблю я этого, да и никто не любит, кроме хамящего в момент хамления. Нарушение этого единственного правила карается модерацией без суда и следствия, а также посмертной ссылкой на низшие планеты (есть у меня знакомые кришнаиты, у которых есть знакомые ямадуты). В остальном – рад тебя видеть, кто бы ты ни был(а)(о).
1 - Кроме одной - национализма.

SAO PAULO, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer
SA posted its first quarterly recurring profit in more than three years on Friday and took another
sstep toward the development of the first brand-new
Western turboprop aircraft in decades.
Turbokprops are said to be more efficient on shorter trips and are particularly
atractive at a time of higher oil prices.
Embraer's new concept for the turboprop would feature engines mounted at the rear of the aircraft, an unusual change from the more conventional wing-mounted engines, the company's chief commercial officer, Arjan Meijer,
said on Twitter.
Thhe company has been searching for a partner to develop a new turboprop that would comkpete with European manufacturer ATR, which dominates the
market with a long-established model of roughly 50 to 70 seats.
Embraer had previously sought to develop its turboprop under a partnership with Boeing that
fell through early in the coronavirus pandemic.
Meijer did not say who would suply thee aircraft's engines.
Pratt and Whitney currently supplies all turboprop
engines, but GE Aviation is developing a competing model.
Embraer reported second-quarter net income of 212.8 million reais ($40.5 million), its first recurring profit
since the first quarter of 2018, driven by a partial
recovery in travel.
A year earloier it posfed a loss of 1.071 billion reais and was scrambling to restructure operations
to contend witth the pandemic and the failed $4 billion deal with Boeing Co.
The second quarter of last year wass particularly brutal for planemakers, and the vast majority of
Embraer's commercial aircraft revenue vanished
as airlines deferred orders.
But on Friday Embraer suggested iit may be turning the page.
Chief Financial Officer Antonio Carlos Garcia said on a call with analysts that Embraer is poised to post a stronger performance next year, and he is "very optimistic" about
finding a partner for the turboprop.
Embraer, whch had suspended guidance for its operations
when thhe pandemic began, said it sees commercial deliveries at between 45 and 50 planes and executive aviaton deliveries at 90 to 95.
Revenue, which moore than doubled in the second quarter
to $5.922 billion, is likely tto be between $4 billion and $4.5 billion, with aan adjusted
EBITDA margin of 8.5% to 9.5%. Free cash flow should be at
breakeven, with a cash burn of up to $150 million seen this year.
