EspañolBOMBARDIER CRJ200
(Redirected from Bombardier CRJ-200)
The 'Bombardier CRJ100' and 'CRJ200/440' are a family of regional airliner manufactured by Bombardier, and based on the Canadair Challenger business jet.
The wide fuselage of the Challenger suggested early on to Canadair officials that it would be straightforward to stretch the aircraft to provide more seats, and there was a plan for a 'Challenger 610E', which would have had seating for 24 passengers. It didn't happen, the effort being canceled in 1981, but the idea didn't go away, either.
In 1987, studies began for a much more ambitious stretched configuration, leading to the formal launch of the 'Canadair Regional Jet' program in the spring of 1989. The "Canadair" name was retained despite the fact that Bombardier had bought out the company. The first of three development machines for the initial 'CRJ-100' performed its first flight on 10 May 1991, though one of the prototypes was lost in a spin mishap in July 1993, The type obtained certification in late 1992, with initial delivery to customers late in that year.
The CRJ-100 was stretched 5.92 meters (19 feet 5 inches), with fuselage plugs fore and aft of the wing, and featured two more emergency exit doors, plus a reinforced and modified wing. Typical seating was 50 passengers, the maximum load being 52 passengers. The CRJ-100 featured a Collins ProLine 4 avionics suite, Collins weather radar, GE CF34-3A1 turbofans with 41.0 kN (4,180 kgp / 9,220 lbf), new wings with extended span, more fuel capacity, and improved landing gear to handle the higher weights. It was followed by the 'CRJ-100ER' subvariant with 20% more range, and the 'CRJ-100LR' subvariant with 40% more range than the standard CRJ-100.
Several models of the CRJ have been produced, ranging in capacity from 40 to 86 passengers.
The CRJ100 is the original 50-seat version. It is equipped with General Electric CF34-3A1 engines. Operators include Hong Kong Airlines and more.

The CRJ200 is identical to the CRJ100 except for its engines, which were upgraded to the CF34-3B1 model, offering improved efficiency.
Like the -100, the -200 has 50 passenger seats, two pilot seats, one flight attendant jumpseat, and one pilot observer seat. The normal airline configuration is 2+2 seating in rows 1 through 12 and 2+0 in row 13, with the lavatory taking up the right side of row 13. There is also an option to add a second flight attendant jumpseat at the rear of the cabin.
Pinnacle Airlines operates some with 44 seats with closets in the forward areas of the passenger cabin though these are being converted to 50 seat airplanes. These modifications are designed to allow operations under their major airline contract "scope clause" which restricts major airlines' connection carriers from operating equipment carrying 50 or more passengers to guard against usurpation of Air Line Pilots Association & Allied Pilots Association pilots' union contract. Similarly, Comair's fleet of 40-seat CRJ200s were sold at a discounted price to discourage Comair from purchasing the less expensive and smaller Embraer 135.
In August 2006 a total of 938 CRJ100 and CRJ200 aircraft (all variants) are in airline service, with 8 further firm orders. Major operators include Comair (115), Pinnacle Airlines (124), SkyWest Airlines (118), Atlantic Southeast Airlines (112), Air Wisconsin (70), Air Canada Jazz (58), Mesa Airlines (60), Lufthansa CityLine (38), Air Nostrum (35, Plus 7 orders), PSA Airlines (35) and Republic Airways Holdings 24). Some 19 other airlines also operate smaller fleets of the type.[1]
Similar to CRJ200 but reduced MTOW and capacity for only 40 to 44 passengers. Exclusive customer with 77 aircraft is Pinnacle Airlines operating as Northwest Airlink.
A business jet variant of the CRJ200
★ On December 16, 1997, Air Canada Flight 646 Bombardier Canadair CRJ-100 crashed on a go-around at Greater Fredericton Airport in Fredericton, New Brunswick. No fatalities were reported.
★ On June 22, 2003, a Brit Air flight from Nantes to Brest, France crashed 2.3 miles short and 0.3 miles to the left of the runway when attempting a landing at Brest's airport. The aircraft's captain was the sole fatality.
★ On October 14, 2004, Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701, a CRJ-200 operated by Pinnacle Airlines, crashed on a repositioning flight from Little Rock, Arkansas to Minneapolis. The two pilots pushed the airplane to its service ceiling of 41,000 feet at much higher climb rates than the engines and airframe could handle. This caused both engines to flame out and possibily experience core lock. The aircraft crashed about fifteen minutes later, in sight of the diversion airport; both pilots were killed.
★ On November 24, 2004, a CRJ-200LR operating as China Eastern Airlines Flight 5210 crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 53 on board as well as two on the ground.
★ On August 27, 2006, a CRJ-100ER operated by regional carrier Comair (Comair Flight 5191), crashed during takeoff from the wrong runway at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky. There were 49 fatalities, with the first officer being the only survivor.
