Update – Canadair RJ Regional Jet
0 comment
Canadair Regional Jet
It’s not often that an entirely new class of civil aircraft is devised to satisfy a specific market need.
The emergence of pressurisation and vibration free turboprops via the Vickers Viscount in the early fifties heralded the beginning of an entirely new standard of airliner, as did, on a larger scale, the DH Comet and the first transcontinental 707s and DC-8s. The Fokker Friendship of the same era also introduced us to the closest thing yet to a then DC-3 replacement, while deregulation in the US eleven years ago gave birth to an entirely new breed of relatively high speed pressurised propjets in the 19 to 64 seat category.
As we rapidly approach the final decade of this first century of aviation, we now are beginning to experience yet another shift towards an aircraft type that a few years ago was conceptually non existent.
