Mitsubishi Aircraft resumes MRJ flight testing

Mitsubishi Aircraft announced it has resumed flight tests of the FTA-1 for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) on Feb. 10. “During about 1.5-hour flight test off the Pacific coast, we confirmed the upgrades carried out on the aircraft,” Mitsubishi said. The first MRJ delivery is due in the second or third quarter of 2018, following a delay of about one year announced on Dec. 24, 2015. Mitsubishi Aircraft says it extended the schedule to allow more time for ground testing in support of flight testing, which began on Nov. 11, 2015.<br/>
