RJ100
The Avro RJ was
developed from the BAe 146, the major changes being:
- Honeywell LF507
engines, with significantly lower operating temperatures
for reduced maintenance costs and increased thrust under
"hot and high" conditions.
Electronic FADEC
engine and APU controls.
- All digital, ARINC
700, avionics with Cat IIIa low weather-minima landing
capability (with Cat IIIb available as an option).
- New Space liner
passenger cabin with increased comfort and improved
appearance.
- Developed design
weights, reduced drag and increased cruising altitude
which increase range, economy and operational
flexibility.
-
Avro RJX-85, Avro RJX-100
Based on the success of its Avro RJ and BAe
146 series of regional jets, BAE SYSTEMS has launched the
new Avro RJX, with advanced Honeywell AS977 engines. The
Avro RJX offers the highest airfield performance of any
regional jet, combined with an outstanding passenger cabin
with enormous flexibility in seating layouts. Due to enter
service in April 2002, the Avro RJX is well advanced with
two aircraft (an RJX-85 and an RJX-100) already taking part
in flight test and another RJX-100 due to join the program.
BAe
Systems announced on November 27th 2001, that the production
of the 146-, RJ and RJX series would be stopped after
completion of the four aircraft in production at that date.
