Description:
Bombardier CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) commercial regional jet family was introduced in 1992 with the entry into service of the first CRJ100 aircraft. The twin-engine, single aisle airplane family has been improved all since its inception. Following the success of the CRJ100, Bombardier introduced the CRJ200 with improved engines in 1996, the CRJ700 in 2001 and the newest CRJ900 in 2003. Every model has a high degree of commonality with the rest of the aircraft family lowering spare parts, ground support equipment, maintenance programs and aircrew training costs. The latest addition to this successful family, is an enhanced CRJ900 announced in March 2005 which incorporates structural, aerodynamic and system changes for improved airfield performance.
The CRJ1000, formerly known as the CRJ900X, is a modified version of the CRJ900 developed to meet the needs of regional airliners for jets of up to 100 seats. The main goals of Bombardier Aerospace for the CRJ1000 program are extremely low operating costs and the improvements to cabin comfort. The CRJ1000 was launched in February 19, 2007, with 38 firm order aircraft from Brit Air (8+8), My Way Airlines/My Air (15) and an undisclosed customer (15+15). The first flight is scheduled for the summer 2008 and the entry into revenue service in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Bombardier Aerospace expects CRJ1000 to reduce carbon dioxide engine emissions by 30 percent compared to similar aircraft. With a maximum takeoff weight of 41.6 tons the CRJ1000 will be capable of carrying up to 100 passengers on routes of up to 3,100 kilometers.
