Non mi pare se ne sia già parlato sul forum, segnalo in ogni caso che Mitsubishi intende lanciare un nuovo regional jet nel range dei 70/90 posti.

Il cliente di lancio dovrebbe essere ANA con un ordine per 30 macchine.

Ana primo cliente per il nuovo Mitsubishi Regional Jet

In attesa di immettere in flotta il primo B787 della storia, Ana potrebbe diventare anche il cliente di lancio del nuovo regional jet progettato dalla Mitsubishi. Secondo un lancio dell'agenzia giapponese JiJi, il vettore potrebbe, infatti, ordinare 30 esemplari del nuovo jet da 70-90 passeggeri, chiamato al momento Mitsubishi Regional Jet (Mrj). L'ultima decisione verrà presa in primavera, con l'inizio dei voli commercaili nel 2012. Per raggiungere il breakeven Mitsubishi Heavy deve vendere circa 350 unità di questo aeromobile, visto che per il progetto servono investimenti per almeno 1,4 miliardi di dollari

Esteticamente anche se simile nell'impostazione ( ma ormai mi sembra cosa comune), lo trovo più accattivante dell'Embraer. Se poi si vanno a vedere certi parametri (corsa al decollo e all'atterragio) direi che nasce con l'intenzione di operare anche da piste abbastanza corte il che non è poco!!. Vista la sua storia, sopratutto in campo aeronautico, non credo che alla Mitsubishi manchino i numeri per produrre un buon aereo.
 
Anche se sono monotono, vorrei sapere, se possibile, il motivo per cui EMBRAER produce aerei da 40/50 posti che hanno
bisogno di piste oceaniche per operare. Credo che nel mondo ci siano aeroporti con le caratteristiche di FLR (o similari)e che una societa' con le caratteristiche di EMBRAER non ne abbia tenuto conto.

Dopo il 787, l'MRJ... ANA di nuovo launch customer, mentre JAL si cucca gli Embraer 170. Effettivamente le performance del MRJ sembrano migliori dell'Embraer, vedremo se JAL cambierà idea o meno... Ricordo che entrambi attualmente possiedono il DHC-Q400 come a/m di pari capacità.
 
Esteticamente, e sulla carta molto bello, anche se in realtà sarà difficile vedere un musetto così appuntito, quindi, sono abbastatnza sicuro che in realtà sarà ancora più simile alla serie E Embraer.
La concorrenza fa solo bene all'economia!
 
Decision on MRJ stretch will take 'one or two years'
By Niall O’Keeffe



Mitsubishi Aircraft (MAC) will decide on whether to launch formally a stretch version of the MRJ "in one or two years", but has yet to determine a list price for the proposed 100-seat variant, according to its director of marketing Yugo Fukuhara.

Speaking on the sidelines of the ERA General Assembly in Interlaken, Switzerland, Fukuhara said that launch of the stretch version was "subject to demand and business case".

The stretch's seat capacity has been set at 100 for two reasons, explains Fukuhara: 100 is the maximum number of seats that can be flown with just two cabin attendants, and demand in the 101-110-seat market is considered by MAC to be "very limited".

The stretch, which would join the 88-seat MRJ 90 and 76-seat MRJ 70, was first mooted as part of a comprehensive programme revamp revealed in September, following a preliminary design review and customer discussions that ran between April and August.

The revamp brought a host of changes intended to "accommodate customer requirements and reflect design progress". These included a switch from carbon-fibre composite wing boxes to aluminium ones. "The weight reduction by applying carbon fibre to the MRJ's size of wing was less than expected," explains Fukuhara.

A division of MAC manufactures composite wing boxes for the Boeing 787, but senior vice president of sales and marketing Yosuke Takigawa stresses that the US airframer's programme delays were not a factor in its decision to amend the MRJ's design.

Where previously the MRJ 70 and 90 were intended to share a common wing, the plan now is develop a lighter version of the MRJ 90 wing for the 70 and a strengthened version for the stretch.

Changes to the fuselage design included a heightening of the cabin, allowing larger overhead bins, and a switch from two cargo compartments (one aft and one forward) to just one (an enlarged aft compartment).

Earlier this month US regional carrier Trans State Holdings signed a letter of intent to take up to 100 MRJ aircraft (50 firm, with 50 options). This followed a launch order from All Nippon Airways (ANA) in March 2005. The ANA order comprised 15 firm aircraft and 10 options.

First flight of an MRJ is due in 2012, with first delivery scheduled for 2014. The MRJ 90, which has a list price of $40 million, will come to market first, with the MRJ 70 ($34 million) following a year later.

MAC intends to support the aircraft itself, with support from programme partners Boeing and Saab. It has made applications to the Federation Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Japanese regulator JCAB for type certification, and plans to downselect pilot training partners by the end of this year.

While acknowledging that the USA is "still the biggest market" for regional jets, Takigawa says that MAC "continues to talk to airlines around the globe".

Fukuhara believes that MRJs could replace turboprops in some areas thanks to their "better economics".
 
Leasing firm ANI signs MOU for five Mitsubishi MRJs

Leasing firm ANI signs MOU for five Mitsubishi MRJs
By Siva Govindasamy

Hong Kong-based leasing company ANI Group Holdings has inked a memorandum of understanding to buy five Mitsubishi MRJ regional jets.

ANI is a unit of Aero Nusantara Indonesia, an Indonesian maintenance, repair and overhaul firm that also leases aircraft to five carriers in the country.

The leasing company has not said whether it is taking the MRJ70 or MRJ90 variant. However, it said that it could order an additional 20 MRJs when Mitsubishi expands to cover the 100-seat class. The MRJ100 is still being studied and Mitsubishi has not made a decision on whether it would go ahead with the variant.

"We are very proud to be the first client for the MRJ in Asia outside of Japan. Indonesia is a rapidly developing market. Since this country is formed by more than 17,000 islands, has a population of more than 240 million people, and has a rapidly growing economy, airplane travel from city to city will undoubtedly increase as time goes on. Regional jets will therefore be essential for Indonesia," said ANI.

"We are expecting that the MRJ would form a family of competitive aircraft and we are considering an additional order of 20 when MRJ family is expanded to cover the 100-seat class. We are looking forward to receiving the MRJ and beginning operations in Indonesia."

Mitsubishi said that the deal with ANI will help it to market the MRJ in Asia.

"We have been strengthening our sales activities in the fast-growing Asian market. We are very excited to have ANI Group Holdings as our customer. We hope our next-generation MRJ regional jet will contribute to the business at ANI Group Holdings. This new order has encouraged us to boost our sales activities not only in Asia but in other world markets as well," said Mitsubishi Aircraft president Hideo Egawa.

Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA), which helped launch the MRJ programme, has a firm order for 15 aircraft and 10 options. Trans States Holdings in the USA has a firm order for 50 MRJs and 50 options.

The MRJ is scheduled to make its first flight in the second quarter of 2012, with first delivery to ANA scheduled for the first quarter of 2014.
 
Bel video, ed anche bell'aereo. L'unica cosa che mi turba un po' è la corposa quantità di aerei attualmente sul segmento. Ci sarà pane per tutti? Boh!
