MONTREAL, SAO PAULO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Brazil's Embraer EMBR3.SA could realistically get certification of its electric aircraft in 2027, but the new president of the country's aviation regulator told Reuters he would like to hit that milestone a year earlier.

Embraer's subsidiary Eve EVEX.N is among several firms developing battery-powered aircraft that can take off and land vertically to ferry travelers on short city trips, a segment seen as key to future growth for the world's third-largest planemaker.
