MRJ Testing Milestones

摘要

The Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (MITAC) has started full-scale testing of the first Mitsubishi Regional Jet (JA21MJ, c 10001). One of the initial tests was a run-up of the aircraft's starboard Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1100G engine. Separately, wing up-bending was carried out on the static airframe used for ground-based strength testing. Assembly continues of the second flight-test MRJ, which has had its wings and body joined and landing gear installed. The wing-body joint is under way on the third test aircraft and the fuselage has been completed for the fourth.
