The CRJ700 is a very quiet aircraft (with an operational take-off noise level of 89EPNdb) and is very fuel efficient, with a range of 3,674km and fuel capacity of 9,017kg. The fuselage is of semi monocoque design. The nacelles have been redesigned for the more powerful engines and the landing gear upgraded. The wing has leading edge slats to improve lift. It also has a wingspan increased by 2m and an increased internal cabin width. The CRJ700 is a stretched version of the 50-seat CRJ200, its length being increased by 5.74m. As of July 2011, 312 CRJ700 aircraft were delivered.īombardier’s maintenance facility in Dallas, Texas, began repair and maintenance services for CRJ700 aircraft in April 2011. The 66 to 68-seat CRJ700 NextGen is scheduled to enter service in 2008 and the 86 to 100 seats CRJ1000 NextGen in 2009. The first NextGen aircraft, the 75 to 90-seat CRJ900 NextGen, entered service with Northwest Airlines in June 2007. There is also increased use of resin transfer moulding (RTM) composites in the aircraft construction with reduced fuel consumption. In May 2007, Bombardier announced the CRJ NextGen family aircraft, which have new cabin interiors, including larger passenger windows, more baggage space and LED lighting. The aircraft entered service in March 2006. The Challenger 870 accommodates 70 passengers in a standard cabin, 44 in split cabin and 42 in deluxe cabin configuration. In May 2005, Bombardier launched the Challenger 870, a corporate shuttle based on the CRJ700. The CRJ705 has a range of 3,773km and a maximum take-off weight of 38,330kg. In June 2005, Bombardier delivered the first of a new variant, the 75-seat CRJ705, to Air Canada Jazz. The aircraft is powered by General Electric CF34-8C5B1 engines, a variation of the engine used on the CRJ900. The CRJ700 LR has a range of 4,048km and an increased maximum take-off weight, allowing it to carry more fuel. In March 2005, Bombardier announced the introduction a new long-range (LR) variant of the CRJ700. The company’s training facilities include the Bombardier Aerospace Training Center in Montreal and a facility in Berlin, Germany, operated under agreement between Lufthansa, CAE and Bombardier Aerospace. The regional aircraft division of Bombardier Aerospace, based in Toronto, Ontario, is responsible for marketing, sales, contracts and product support for the CRJ series jet airliners. Sky West placed four more aircraft orders in January 2011. The airline placed an order for an additional 18 CRJ700 and four CRJ900 NextGen aircraft in November 2007. Sky West (with partner Atlantic South-East Airlines) is the largest operator of CRJ aircraft with a fleet of 363 aircraft, including 102 CRJ700. Recent orders include: GoJet Airlines (ten plus 40 options) and Mesa Air Group (ten). The CRJ700 is in service with Brit Air (launch customer), Horizon Air, Delta Connection Inc (Atlantic Southeast Airlines and Comair), Mesa Air and American Eagle, Sky West (52 plus 60 options), Air Canada (30) in North America, Lufthansa Cityline, Maersk Air Ltd in Europe and Shandong Airlines of China. So there is no way of distinguishing the Global 6500 from the Global 6000."In May 2007, Bombardier announced the CRJ NextGen family aircraft, which have new cabin interiors, including larger passenger windows, more baggage space and LED lighting." The engine nacelles are the same however, and the wing shape change is probably not visible either. The Global 6500 is a Global 6000 with Rolls Royce Pearl engines and re-contoured wings. The US Air Force has a similarly configured aircraft for battlefield support, known as E-11A. It is fitted with large bulbs on top of and below the fuselage. The Royal Air Force operated an airborne battlefield and ground surveillance version of the BD-700, designed as Sentinel R1. Global 6000 is a new marketing name for the Global Express XRS, to bring it more in line with the rest of the Global line-up. However, we are not sure whether older Global Expresses have this extra cabin window as well. This is especially visibile on the right side, see photos below. This results in less space between the cockit windows and the first cabin window. It is as big as its predecessor and is supposed to have an additional windows on each side: thirteen to the left, fourteen on the right. The Global Express XRS is an improved Global Express. The Global Express was the first version of the Global series.
