Bombardier CRJ 700

The Bombardier CRJ700, CRJ900, and CRJ1000 are a family of regional jet airliners that were designed and manufactured by Canadian transportation conglomerate Bombardier between 1999 and 2020. Their design was derived from the smaller CRJ100 and 200 airliners, the other members of the Bombardier CRJ aircraft family.

During the 1990s, Bombardier initiated development on the CRJ-X, a program to produce enlarged derivatives of its popular CRJ100/200 family. Officially launched in 1997, the CRJ700's maiden flight took place in 1999; it was soon followed by the stretched CRJ900 variant. Several additional variants of the type were subsequently introduced, including the elongated CRJ1000 and the CRJ550 and CRJ705.

Competitors included the British Aerospace 146, the Embraer E-Jet family, the Fokker 70 and the Fokker 100. In Bombardier's lineup, the CRJ Series was formerly marketed alongside a family of larger jets, the CSeries, and a twin-turboprop, the QSeries.
