Mitsubishi Aircraft nears final MRJ70 design
Mitsubishi Aircraft is close to finalising a refined design for the MRJ70, the shorter version of its MRJ regional jet, and by the end of June, 2 additional MRJ90 prototypes will be ready for MRJ flight testing, Mitsubishi Aircraft president Hisakazu Mizutani said. As the program works toward making a much-delayed first delivery in mid-2020, Mizutani said the company is aiming to achieve simultaneous airworthiness certification from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau and the two foreign agencies that are conducting shadow audits on the MRJ, EASA and the FAA. After more than 3 years of company evaluation of MRJ prototypes in the air, certification flight testing under supervision of the JCAB began March 3. The specific subject of the certification work is the 88-seat MRJ90 version, which the 76-seat MRJ70 is trailing by about 1 year. <br/>
