BAE Systems - Avro RJX-85
In March 2000 BAE Systems announced the new RJX series, powered by Honeywell AS977 turbofans. The first RJX, an 85 model flew for the first time on 28 April 2001, the first RJX 100 flying on 23 September that year. The company planned to market three versions, the RJX70, 85 and 100. However, on 27 November 2001, BAE Systems announced the cancellation of the entire RJX programme, citing the poor sales prospects for the type in the aftermath of the “9/11” attacks in the USA. At the time of cancellation firm orders been received from two carriers for 14 RJX100s, in addition to options for a further 12, all RJX100s.
