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.
The aircraft involved was a 16-year-old Bombardier CRJ900LR with the tail number N932XJ. [9] [10]The CRJ900LR is a modified sub-variant of the CRJ900 series of regional jets produced by Bombardier, designed for longer-range flights due to its higher maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) as compared to the base variant of the CRJ900, a jet commonly used to operate short- to medium-haul regional flights.
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. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The CRJ-X featured a stretched fuselage, a lengthened wing, and up-rated General Electric CF34 -8C engines, while maintaining a common type-rating with the basic CRJ.
Its aircraft included the Dash 8 Series 400, CRJ100/200/440, and CRJ700/900/1000 lines of regional airliners, and the newer CSeries (also known as the Airbus A220). It also manufactured the Bombardier 415 amphibious water-bomber (in Dorval and North Bay ), and it currently makes the Global Express and the Challenger lines of business jets.
Regional Jet is used in the name of multiple airliners: the 50-seat Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-100/200 was introduced in 1992 and evolved from 2001 in the 70- to 100-seat CRJ700/900/1000; the 70- to 112-seat BAe 146 was renamed as the Avro Regional Jet in 1993; the 34- to 50-seat Embraer Regional Jet ERJ-135/140/145 entered service in 1996;
The Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) program, derived from the Challenger 600 business jet, was launched in early 1989. The first CRJ100 prototype made its maiden flight on 10 May 1991. Canada's first jet airliner to enter commercial service was introduced by launch customer Lufthansa in 1992.
The incident happened around 10:07 a.m. local time and involved the wing of Delta Air Lines Flight 295, which was traveling to Tokyo, Japan, making contact with the tail of Delta Air Lines Flight ...
