Mitsubishi Aircraft eyes MRJ70 improvements
Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp is working on improvements to the MRJ70, which will be the second version of the MRJ regional jet to enter service, and is looking increasingly important. The company has hinted at improvements in operating efficiency for the 76-seat version, although it is not moving delivery targets. The MRJ program is 80% through flight testing of the initial version, the MRJ90, which is designed to seat 88 passengers in an all-economy arrangement. So far, there have been no major surprises. Since the company flight testing phase is almost finished, there is not much time now for any to appear. The next phase is type-certification flight testing under the eye of the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau. After 5 delays, launch customer ANA is scheduled to receive its first aircraft in mid-2020, about 6.75 years later than was intended. <br/>
