The Embraer EMB 121 Xingu is a twin-turboprop fixed-wing aircraft built by the Brazilian manufacturer, Embraer. The design of this plane was based on the older and less powerful EMB 110 Bandeirante but features an all new fuselage in its place. It first flew 10 October 1976 with 8 or 9 passenger seats depending on configuration.[1]
In September 1981 there were some minor changes to give it more power (PT6A 135 engine), increased seating capacity for 8 passengers as well as greater fuel capacities which remained until production ceased one year later in 1984
