Embraer Demonstrates Quantum Navigation Technology During Test Flights
What happened
On September 1, 2026, Embraer conducted test flights of an Embraer 170 that launched from Seattle, flew over the Pacific Ocean, and landed in Alaska. The flights were a four-hour round trip over open ocean and demonstrated a prototype of quantum navigation technology. The aircraft successfully completed the test without the use of GPS.

Why it matters
The successful demonstration proved the technology was 89% more accurate than the standard navigation aids pilots typically use when GPS fails. This successful test marks a significant development in GPS-independent navigation systems, which are critical for operations over featureless ocean environments.
A flight route spanned from Seattle to Alaska, and Honeywell Aerospace was selected to develop a MagNav prototype.
