Canadair CL-600 Regional Jet CRJ-900
The Bombardier CRJ900 is a further-stretched member of the CRJ family, extending the CRJ700's fuselage for even greater passenger capacity. It became one of the most common regional jets serving routes just below the size that would justify a full mainline narrow-body. Its extra length required an auxiliary rear fuel tank to preserve range with the added weight of a longer cabin. It remains a mainstay of regional airline fleets in North America and beyond.
