What is CRJ in aviation?
The Canadair CRJ are a series of narrow-body, twin-engine, medium-range, jet airliners produced in Canada. Canadair is now owned by Bombardier. The Bombardier Regional Jet CRJ-100 and the Bombardier Regional Jet CRJ-200 aircraft carry the same Type Certificate. The CRJ900 is a stretched version of the CRJ700 with up to 90 seats. Internally designated as the RJX, the first CRJ900 (C-FRJX) was modified from the prototype CRJ700 by adding longer fuselage plugs fore and aft of the wings.In 2020, the Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation acquired the CRJ program and subsequently ended production of the aircraft. Development of the CRJ700 series was launched in 1994 under the CRJ-X program, aimed at creating larger variants of the successful CRJ100 and 200, the other members of the Bombardier CRJ-series.Overall, flying a Bombardier CRJ Series aircraft can be a rewarding and challenging experience. The aircraft is a highly sophisticated and demanding aircraft, and pilots must be prepared to handle the complexities of the aircraft.In the late 2010s, Bombardier began divesting its commercial aircraft programs, and on 1 June 2020, Mitsubishi finalized the acquisition of the CRJ program. Bombardier continued manufacturing CRJ aircraft on behalf of Mitsubishi until fulfilling all existing orders in December 2020.
