You may think it superfluous to include the letter "A" in each model designation, and you may be right about that. But it's Airbus' decision to make, not yours or mine

Embraer uses "E" at the beginning of some of its models, and "ERJ" for others.

thank you i did not know that the manufacturer designated that.
so all Airbus aircraft have the letter A in front of the model number?
also for Embraer which ones use ERJ rather than E?
And are most if not all Canadair aircraft also have CRJ in front of the model number?
