The Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) is a next-generation regional jet developed by Mitsubishi
Aircraft Corporation that realizes both the world's highest-class operational economy and
outstanding cabin comfort at the same time. After its first flight on November 11, 2015, we have
been currently conducting flight tests of the MRJ at Grant County International Airport, in
Washington, USA. Meanwhile, at the Mitsubishi Aircraft Headquarters in Japan, technical work for
the type certification necessary to bring the aircraft into service is progressing. Manufacturing of
the production model has also started, and development is being accelerated for delivery to airlines
in both Japan and the United States.
In the past, we presented the MRJ development status in the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Technical Review ("Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ)" in 2014 and "The First Flight of the MRJ" in
2016). This paper reports on flight tests of the MRJ.
