The Embraer 175 short wing (designated E75S by ICAO and E7W by IATA) is a derivative of the standard E175 regional jet, featuring a reduced wingspan to comply with the regional jet scope clauses in US airline pilot contracts. These contractual limits restrict the size and weight of aircraft that can be operated by regional partners, and the modified wing allows the E175 to remain within those boundaries while still offering competitive capacity. The aircraft retains the same fuselage cross-section and interior layout as the standard E175, typically seating around 76 passengers in a two-by-two configuration that eliminates the middle seat. This makes it particularly attractive to US regional carriers operating on behalf of major network airlines under capacity purchase agreements. The E75S entered service as part of Embraer's strategy to maintain competitiveness in the US regional market, where scope clause restrictions heavily influence fleet decisions. It competes primarily with the Bombardier CRJ-900 in this segment.

Notable operators

SkyWest Airlines and other US regional carriers operating under contracts with major network airlines have been primary operators of the E175 short wing variant.
