Passenger Jet With No Middle Seats Every Jet-Lagged Traveler's Dream

A new jet designed to scare up some business for airlines around the world has made quite an impression - but that might have to do with its flagship aircraft's paint job or the fact that there are no middle seats, ever.

The Embraer E190-E2, nicknamed the "Profit Hunter" is turning heads in the skies and on the ground thanks to its unique configuration that ditches the middle seat, a boon for every flyer that hates people in the middle seat as much as they hate sitting there. 

(Let's be honest, it always feel like you hit the jackpot when the flight attendants close the doors and there's an empty middle seat between you and your fellow passenger sitting by the window). 

"Preserving passenger personal space is the goal," Rodrigo Silva e Souza, vice-president of marketing for Embraer Commercial Aviation, tells CNN Travel. 

The interiors of the E190-E2 were designed to do just that. The E2 aircraft's goal is to give "passengers the impression of having greater space, or of being on a larger aircraft," Souza added. 

The Embrare's E2 family of regional jets (which also includes the E175-E2, E190-E2, and E195-E2) is starting to steal the thunder from other major airlines, like Airbus. 

While every airline has its own custom configurations for things like legroom and seating layouts, there are plenty of features on the jet like redesigned windows with larger frames that give the cabin a brighter appearance. 

Another headache of travel? Trying to fit all your items into the overhead storage bins, something the new airplane anticipates with overhead bins that are 40% larger and can even fit standard carry-on luggage. 

The designers have also removed support rails that can impede legroom. 

And it's proving to be popular with airlines too. The new E2 jets were ordered by SkyWest, a regional airline that flies for larger carriers like American Airlines, Delta, United and Alaska Airlines.
