Understanding the nuances of regional aircraft -- turboprops and regional jets -- is first and foremost a matter of understanding the role of geography in their success.
De Havilland Canada's time building the Dash 8-400 turboprop in Downsview is coming to an end as the company plans to indefinitely pause production, but is leaving the door wide open to start again to begin a new for a post-COVID-19 rebound in demand. The fourth rock from the sun is slated to become the solar system's second planet to host a powered flight. Perseverance and Ingenuity arrive on Mars on February 18. As single-aisle jets like the Airbus A321XLR take on roles once assigned for long-range twins, the more narrow cabin is going to be a battleground for increasingly complex passenger systems in the fight against commodification.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ intent to cultivate a new market for the Japanese conglomerate in North America has been withdrawn. Its purpose, the creation of a next-generational regional jet, is on hold indefinitely. Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, or Mitac, MHI’s commercial aircraft unit, is now set to shutter its operations in North America and Europe, the company confirmed last Friday. With letting go of Mitac’s international presence, its parent has reabsorbed its aircraft division leaving an indefinitely-paused future for the existing M90.
