Equipped with the Honeywell AS977 turbofan. the RJX offered 17% extra range, 5% more climb thrust, 15% lower fuel consumption and 20% lower overall direct engine maintenance costs. The first example, an RJX-85, flew in April 2001, followed five months later by the first RJX-100. BAE Systems cancelled the RJ and RJX pro grammes in November 2001, citing a sharply deteriorating outlook for regional aircraft. At the time 14 firm orders and 14 options existed for the RJX. Flight testing with three aircraft (one RJX-85 and two RJX-100s) continued, however, so it was unclear whether BAE Systems would have to deliver 12 RJX-100s ordered by launch customers British European and Druk Air, finally ceasing when those orders were cancelled in January this year. Certification was to have been in April. The first and third RJXs have now been broken up, while the sec ond aircraft, RJX-100 serial number E3378, registration G-IRJX, will go to a UK museum. Meanwhile, the last RJ, an RJ85, flew from the production plant in Woodford near Manchester on 24 June and is among four aircraft awaiting placement with customers. When these aircraft are placed, total RJ/146 sales will amount to 390 aircraft. Production Production of the Avro RJ and RJX aircraft at Woodford, UK, ceased in 2002. Delivered: 166 (plus four to be placed) In service: 163 BAe 146 First flown in September 1981, the four-engined BAe 146-100 entered service in May 1983 with Dan-Air of the UK. Production ceased in 1993 after 219 of the AlliedSignal (now Honeywell, formerly Textron Lycoming) ALF502-powered aircraft had been delivered. The 146 was made in three fuselage lengths (-100, - 200 and -300) and BAe also developed a freighter version, the "QT". BAE Systems is developing cockpit upgrades for the 146 that will enhance its operational capabilities and keep it compliant with new regulations. Potential upgrades include Category III low-visibility landing capability; Honeywell enhanced ground proximity warning system; reduced vertical separa tion minima equipment; new fibreoptic and flat-panel flightdeck displays. Air circulation modifications are also required fol lowing an Australian report's findings that fumes caused health problems on one Ansett aircraft. The prototype BAe 146 is being configured as an atmospheric research aircraft and is due to be deliv ered to a partnership including Qinetiq and the University of Manchester early next year, becoming the last-ever example to be delivered. Delivered 219 In service 212 Jetstream 31 (J31/32) The 19-seat Jetstream 31 (J31) was developed from the Handley-Page (HP) Jetstream of the 1960s. It first flew in March 1980 and entered ser vice in 1982. An increased-power version, the Super 31 (or J32), entered service in 1988. J31 pro duction ended in 1993. The J32ER for Enhanced Performance (EP), is a BAE-developed upgrade programme to improve hot-and-high and short-field performance. The modifications were certificated in July 1997, and enable the J32EP to carry an extra 360kg, or four BAE SYSTEMS REGIONAL AIRCRAFT BAe 146-100 Length (m) Wingspan (m) Height (m) Wing area (m2) Cabin width (m) Max take-off weight (kg) Max landing weight (kg) Operating empty weight (kg) Max zero fuel weight (kg) Max payload (kg) Powerplant Standard fuel capacity (litres) Normal operating speed (kt) Normal operating speed (Macf Max cruise speed (kt or Mach) Max operating altitude (ft) Take-off field length (m) Landing field length (m) Accommodation (typical) 26.19 26.34 8.61 77,3 3.42 38.102 35.153 23.400 31,071 7,671 4x 11,728 300 ) 0.7 425 31,000 1,231 1,180 73 Design range with pax 1,850km/82 BAe 146-200 28.55 26.34 8.61 77.3 3.42 42,185 36,741 23,750 34,019 10,269 BAe 146-300 31 26.34 8.61 77.3 3.42 44,225 38,329 24,750 35,607 10,857 6,960lb Honeywell ALF502R 11,728 295 0.7 423 31,000 1.554 1,189 88 2,310km/100 11,728 305 0.7 429 31,000 1,585 1,265 103 2,170km/103 •- ' : • ."•••'.
