(Redirected from CRJ)

The 'Bombardier CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet)' is a family of regional airliner manufactured by Bombardier, and based on the Canadair Challenger business jet. Design studies began in 1987, with the first prototype flying on May 10, 1991.
Because the CRJ project began at Canadair prior to its 1986 acquisition by Bombardier, the CRJ is sometimes also referred to by its original Canadair designation "CL-65". This legacy designation can still be found on some Comair in-flight safety cards.
