For more than 20 years, the airspace of different countries has been plied by small cute Canadian-made "CRJ 200" aircraft. Their popularity is explained by the fact that for the development of a good transport infrastructure in any country, the possibility of flights over short distances is necessary. And an aircraft of this type creates all the possibilities for such movements. The aircraft was produced by Canadair (later renamed Bombardier) in May 1991.
"Bombardier CRJ 200" has a fairly high speed of movement, comparable to the speed of large airliners (790 km / h, cruising), a takeoff weight of 21 tons (maximum!), Is controlled by a crew of 2 people (pilot, co-pilot). The number of passengers that he can take on board is 50 people (in some cases, an aircraft with 44 seats is produced). There is also a corporate modification "Challenger", capable of accommodating 15 passengers. The aircraft is compact - hasabout 30 meters long and 21.2 meters wide, which allows it to land on standard and small airfields.
"CRJ 200" is a modification of the successful "CRJ 100" model and differs from its predecessor by more economical and powerful engines from General Electric. It can rise to a height of up to 12.5 km and fly a distance of about 3,000 km. The aircraft is a direct competitor to the Russian AN-148, whose production has improved in recent years. But which aircraft will play the leading role in domestic short-haul transportation is still unknown, because. "AN-148" has already been put into operation, but dozens of Canadian aircraft are imported into Russia.
Another modification - "CRJ 200 LR" is designed so that the aircraft can cover a slightly greater distance (3150 km). Operating companies and pilots speak well of the characteristics of this rather unpretentious machine, which is easy to operate even in difficult meteorological conditions. It is suitable for mountain areas, can be converted to business class or charter, has the lowest fuel consumption in its class.
It should be noted in the "CRJ" family there are 7 more types of aircraft (in addition to "CRJ 200"), designated from CJR 100 to CRJ 1000, the total number of which is about 1700 aircraft. Among them - 709 aircraft modification "CRJ 200". It is noteworthy that the Canadian company has a fairly high levelfulfillment of orders, because the number of unfulfilled deliveries is about 100 aircraft.
"CRJ 200" is considered a very reliable machine, as evidenced by statistics. During the entire period of operation of all varieties of "CRJ" accidents suffered fourteen aircraft. In six cases, there were no human casu alties. These aircraft can be seen in the fleet of Canadian Air Jazz, German Lufthansa, Russian AkBars, Severstal-Avia, Aero, Yamal and others.
Passenger reviews of the aircraft are mostly positive. It is noted for its quality factor, low noise, good maneuverability, which guarantees (in the presence of a good crew) an easy takeoff and a soft landing. Armchairs in the cabin are leather, each passenger has a place for luggage (0.04 cubic meters), on board, in addition to the toilet room, there is a kitchen. The service staff consists of two stewards.
