Canadair CL-600 Regional Jet CRJ-200
The Canadair (Bombardier) CRJ-200, introduced in 1996, is a re-engined development of the original 50-seat CRJ-100 regional jet, fitted with more efficient General Electric CF34-3B1 turbofans that improved fuel burn and hot-and-high performance over its predecessor. Derived from Canadair's Challenger business jet, it retained that aircraft's fuselage cross-section and supercritical wing, giving a wider cabin than many rival regional jets of its era. Around 1,021 CRJ100/200s were built before production ended in 2006, and the type helped establish the hub-and-spoke regional-jet networks used widely by North American airlines.
