Bombardier CRJ700

The Bombardier CRJ700, CRJ900, and CRJ1000 are regional airliners based on the successful Bombardier CRJ200. Final assembly of the aircraft is at Montréal-Mirabel International Airport near Montreal, Québec.

Development

Following the success of the CRJ-100/-200 series, Bombardier decided to go ahead with the production of larger variants in order to compete with small airliners such as the Boeing 717, the Boeing 737-600, the Embraer E-Jets and similar.

CRJ700

The CRJ700 is a stretched 70-seat version equipped with the General Electric CF34-8C1 engine. Maximum speed is Mach .85 at a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 m). Depending upon payload, the CRJ-700 can travel up to 2250 statute miles (3,600 km) with current engines, and a new variant with CF34-8C5 engines will be able to travel up to 2895 miles (4,660 km). The CRJ700 features a new wing with leading edge slats and a stretched and slightly widened fuselage, with a lowered floor. This enables the aircraft to carry up to 78 passengers with a crew of 2 plus cabin crew. The first flight was in 1999 and it entered service in 2001. Competes loosely with the Embraer 170. The CRJ700 comes in three subvariants - Series 700, Series 701 and Series 702. The 700 is limited to 68 passengers, the 701 to 70 passengers and the 702 to 78 passengers. The aircraft's FAA Type Certificate designation is the CL-600-2C10
