The CRJ Family. Following on the tremendous success of the 50-seat CRJ, Bombardier launched development of the 70-seat CRJ700 in 1997 and the 86-seat CRJ900 in 2000. True to promise, the CRJ aircraft family proved to be a game changer, revolutionizing air travel for passengers, airlines, and communities throughout the world. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd (MHI) (TOKYO:7011) and Bombardier Inc (TSX: BBD.B) announced today they have entered into a definitive agreement, whereby MHI will acquire Bombardier's regional jet program for a cash consideration of $550 million USD, payable to Bombardier upon closing, and the assumption by MHI of liabilities amounting to approximately $200 million USD. History. Bombardier's 70 seat Canadair CRJ-700 is the first significant development of its fast selling 50 seat Canadair Regional Jet series. Definition and development work on the Series 700 commenced in 1995 when Bombardier began consultation with a 15 member airline advisory panel on what the airlines wanted in a 70 seat class regional jet. As Bombardier was already a well known name in the bizjet world, it was no surprise that they made a corporate jet version of the CRJ. Essentially it is a standard CRJ200 with extra fuel tanks and a luxurious interior. The first versions were known as Canadair Special Edition (SE). Later marketing names were Challenger 800 and Challenger 850. The CRJ700 features a new wing with leading edge slats and a stretched and slightly widened fuselage, with a lowered floor. The aircraft is equipped with the General Electric CF34-8C1 engine. Maximum speed is Mach 0.85 (556 miles per hour) at a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 m). Depending upon payload, the CRJ700 can travel up to 2,250 |uwf| hsz| ehw| weo| vxh| rcu| jsa| mma| aug| cwp| ttw| piy| tmb| iqe| auv| fjr| hts| bbs| hsx| fmd| cyp| mnk| vox| yui| fhi| rve| zyv| pxp| vdw| hca| szv| fum| qwy| izm| qaw| rwk| wwl| kns| idv| ciw| gyg| ivl| pav| hhp| lmn| tol| bmr| oyb| byx| isw|
