The Bombardier CRJ/Mitsubishi CRJ or CRJ Series (for Canadair Regional Jet) is a family of regional jets introduced in 1991 by Bombardier Aerospace.The CRJ was manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace with the manufacturing of the first CRJ generation, the CRJ100/200 starting in 1991 and the second CRJ generation, the CRJ700 series starting in 1999.
During the early 1990s, Bombardier Aerospace became interested in developing larger variants of the CRJ100/200 series; associated design work commenced in 1994. [5] The CRJ-X, as the new range was initially designated, sought to compete with larger regional jets such as the Fokker 70/Fokker 100 or the BAe 146 family.
This article contains one version of a list of orders made by airlines and other buyers for the Bombardier CRJ family of regional aircraft.. Produced by Bombardier Aerospace of the Canadian aerospace and defence company Bombardier Inc., which was owned by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, the former CRJ100 and CRJ200 series are no longer in modern production but remain in active service.
The 16-year-old CRJ900, made by Canada's Bombardier and powered by GE Aerospace engines, can seat up to 90 people. At least one of the two wings was no longer attached to the plane, video showed ...
Bombardier claimed the CSeries would burn 20% less fuel per trip than these competitors, [4] which would make it still about 8% more fuel efficient than the Boeing 737 MAX, which was introduced in 2017. In 2008, the launch customer for the CSeries, Lufthansa, signed a letter of intent for up to 60 aircraft and 30 options. [5]
The 50 seat aircraft is powered by two GE CF34 turbofans, mounted on the rear fuselage. The CRJ200 has more efficient turbofan engines for lower fuel consumption, increased cruise altitude and speed. [3] During the late 1990s, it was stretched into the CRJ700 series. [3] Production ended in 2006 but many remain in service.
The General Electric CF34 is a civilian high-bypass turbofan developed by GE Aviation from its TF34 military engine. The CF34 is used on a number of business and regional jets, including the Bombardier CRJ series, the Embraer E-Jets, and Comac ARJ21. [2] [3] In 2012, there were 5,600 engines in service.
Rotax is one of the world's principal suppliers of aircraft engines for ultralight aircraft, light aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. [2] Between 1985 and 1995, 60,000 Rotax engines were sold for aircraft propulsion. [2] In the light aircraft class, in 1998 Rotax outsold all other aero engine manufacturers combined. [4]
