MRJ70 'Concept' to have room for scope flexibility

摘要

Mitsubishi Aircraft is redesigning its MRJ70 to such an extent that executives now call it "The Concept" - a design intended to comply with seating and weight limits faced by airlines, while leaving room to include more passengers if those US scope clauses are relaxed. Speaking during the 10 May opening of Mitsubishi Aircraft's new US headquarters in Renton, Washington, Alex Bellamy, chief development officer for the MRJ programme, said "The Concept" replacing the MRJ70 will be "scope compliant but not scope limited".
