The CRJ NextGen aircraft introduced new technologies, new thinking, and new performance to regional aviation. With a common engine unique in its segment, advanced avionics in the flight deck, lighter weight and advanced aerodynamics, every jet in the CRJ family is designed to deliver significantly improved efficiency, excellent airfield performance and en-route fuel consumption.
Advanced Materials
Flight Years Ahead
The CRJ NextGen family continues to expand its use of advanced technology.
Control by wire multifunction spoiler with roll assist for lower pilot workload
Introducing on the CRJ1000 a control by wire rudder
NextGen introduced interior LED lighting
Outboard flaps and ailerons are Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) composites
Benefits of RTM:
Low weight, high strength
Freedom from corrosion
High resistance to fatigue
Proven Engine
One Exceptional Engine
The General Electric CF34-8 engine family has a proven track record, commonality benefits and years of experience in the field.
The CF34-8C5 features a 5:1 bypass ratio and a thrust output of up to 14,510 lbf.
The CRJ NextGen family is the only regional product in the 70-100 seat segment to offer a common engine. Through tech insertions, the engine can be interchanged between the CRJ NextGen family and a single pool of engines can be maintained.
With the benefit of utilizing the same engine across CRJ1000, CRJ900, and CRJ700 NextGen in succession, the CF34-8C5 takes flexibility to a new level.
