How Brazil Gave Birth to One of the World's Greatest Jet Makers | Odd Lots
There aren't many advanced manufacturing success stories in Latin America. And globally, there aren't many companies that can build commercial planes at scale. Yet somehow, one of the world's leading jet makers is Brazilian. Embraer is the third largest maker of commercial planes worldwide after Boeing and Airbus. On this episode, we talk about how the company came to be, what its opportunities are, and what lessons in economic development we can learn from its rise. We speak with two guests for the show. First, is Richard Aboulafia, a managing director at AeroDynamic Advisory, to understand the company's role in the aviation ecosystem. Then we speak with Juan David Rojas, a writer on Latin America, to understand the political conditions in Brazilian history that allowed the company to emerge and thrive.
Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway analyze the weird patterns, the complex issues and the newest market crazes. Join the conversation every Monday and Thursday for interviews with the most interesting minds in finance, economics and markets.

Pois é pessoal ... o Brasil não é só Samba, Futebol e Praia como todo mundo pensa, é muito legal ver os Gringos descobrindo que nós não moramos em arvores na amazonia
I thought that perhaps it was a wink to Simon and Garfunkel, the company being British and all. But yeah, aerospace is a unique industry with unique technology, regulations, politics and customers
Brazil attracted 61% of startup investments in Latin America in 2023 for several reasons. First, Brazil has the largest population and GDP in the region, in addition to having the eighth-largest GDP in the world, providing a robust and attractive domestic market for new companies. The country also stands out as the largest technological and innovation hub in Latin America, leading in the number of active startups (60%) and unicorns (55%). Additionally, Brazil's investment ecosystem is more mature, with a high concentration of venture capital funds that make larger investments compared to other Latin American countries. The fintech sector is particularly strong, driven by the advanced digitalization of the financial system and the innovative actions of the Central Bank, attracting many investors to this specific area. These combined factors make Brazil a preferred destination for startup investments in the region. Brazil's GDP is equivalent to the combined GDP of Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Peru! Brazil is a global power, while the aforementioned countries are only regional powers.
Anyone that is that jittery that they made their own interpretation of a PR slogan like "the sound of silence" should stick to the trains and buses. The Dash 8 plane are equipped with noise cancelling speaker system that significantly quiet the cabin, that is what the slogan means. Also, it is very common for 4 engined airplanes in the military used for search missions where they need longest loitering time, it is routine to shut down 2 of the engines to save fuel and engine wear. Betting the whole company on a single airplane is nothing new, Boeing did that with the 747, if that plane failed to sell, Boeing would be a shadow of itself now.
