5. News: Mitsubishi aircraft Ltd. Gets 100 Plane Order from Trans States
Japan‘s first ever passenger jet, the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), received a 100-plane order from U.S. regional airline Trans States. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a outsourced supplier for the Boeing 787, is still continuing development on the 70-90 seat airliner. The company declined to say how much the order was worth, but the catalogue price for the order is valued around $2 billion – $4 billion total if the 50 options go through.
In 2008, the MRJ received an order from launch customer ANA (All Nippon Airways) for up to 25 planes. Deliveries for the new airliner are expected to begin in early 2014.
Compared to jets in the same seat category, the plane is expected to cut fuel burn by 20-30 percent per hour. Trans States said that fuel costs are “very important.”
The aircraft uses a geared turbofan engine developed by Pratt & Whitney. The new technology is referred to as a fuel sipper, as the engine’s fans can operate at a different speed to the turbine. This same type engine is also used on Bombardier regional aircraft.
This is only the second Japanese made plane since the end of World War II ・the first was the YS-11, but had very limited success.
Mitsubishi plans to build the aircraft at Mitsubishi Heavy’s factory in central Nagoya. They plan on producing 24 aircraft per year initially, but expect to increase the amount of 72.
Mitsubishi recently delayed the delivery date to revamp the design by increasing cabin / cargo space. Additionally, they switched from carbon-fiber to aluminum wings. Mitsubishi is advised by Boeing.
AEROSPACE INDUSTRY OF CENTRAL JAPAN
The Chubu area is one of the important production areas in Japan, where advanced industries such as the aerospace industry are centered. The concept of “the chubu aerospace technology park ” is to form an integrated aerospace industry area, ranging from research to production, by taking advantage of this centralization. In this park with the integrated laboratory as the core, there will be various institutions where aerospace related activities such as research and development, production,, education, medical care, and so on, will be conducted. Ultimately, vitalization of local communities and industries, including leisure areas, has been planned. C-ASTEC examines each of the above mentioned institution, conducts
investigations and studies for there realization, and makes related proposals.
