Bombardier crj 200 - the plane consisting of advantages

Already more than 20 years the airspace of different countries is plowed by small nice planes "CRJ 200" of Canadian manufacture. Their popularity is explained by the fact that the development of a good transport infrastructure in any country requires the possibility of flights over short distances. And an aircraft of this type creates all the possibilities for such displacements. The aircraft was launched by Canadair (later renamed Bombardier) in May 1991.

"Bombardier CRJ 200" has a sufficiently high speed of movement, comparable with the speed of large airliners (790 km / h, cruising), takeoff weight of 21 tons (maximum!), Is controlled by a crew of 2 people (pilot, co-pilot). The number of passengers that he can take on board is 50 people (in some cases an air vehicle with 44 seats is produced). There is also a corporate modification of the "Challenger", capable of accommodating 15 passengers. The plane is compact - has a length of about 30 meters, and width - 21, 2 meters, which allows it to land on standard and small airfields.

"CRJ 200" is a modification of the successful model "CRJ 100" and differs from its predecessor by more economical and powerful engines from the company "General Electric". It can climb to a height of 12.5 km and fly a distance of about 3,000 km. The aircraft is a direct competitor to the Russian "AN-148", whose production has been adjusted in recent years. But what aircraft will play a leading role in domestic short-haul transportation is still unknown, because "AN-148" has already been put into operation, but Canadian planes are imported to Russia by dozens.

Another modification - "CRJ 200 LR" is designed so that the aircraft can overcome a slightly larger distance (3150 km). Operating companies and pilots respond well about the characteristics of this rather unpretentious machine, which is easy to manage even in difficult meteorological conditions. It is suitable for mountain areas, can be converted into a business class or under a charter, has the lowest fuel consumption in its class.

It should be noted in the "CRJ" family that there are 7 other types of air vehicles (besides the "CRJ 200"), designated from CJR 100 to CRJ 1000, the total number of which is about 1,700 vessels. Among them - 709 aircraft modification "CRJ 200". It is noteworthy that the Canadian company has a fairly high level of order fulfillment, because The number of unfulfilled supplies is about 100 aircraft.

"CRJ 200" is considered a very reliable machine, which is confirmed by statistics. During the entire operation of all varieties of "CRJ" crashes suffered fourteen aircraft. In six cases, there were no human casualties. These cars can be seen in the air fleet of Canadian Air Jazz, the German Lufthansa, Russian AkBars, Severstal Avia, Aero, Yamal and others.

Feedback from passengers about the aircraft, mostly positive. Its quality factor, low noisiness, good maneuverability is noted, which guarantees (with good crew) easy take-off and soft landing. Armchairs in the salon are leather, each passenger has a place for luggage (0,04 cubic meters), on board besides the toilet room there is a kitchen. The staff consists of two stewards.
