Documentary: The Rise Of Regional Jets

[@furtado.g_]

As a Brazilian I’m very happy to see Embraer, one of our national prides, leading the way on regional jet market for some time now! Usually people don’t know about the excellence Embraer has to offer, it isn’t coincidence that almost every time Embraer launches a aircraft, it gets 1st place many times over!

Some of the best Aircraft I have worked on.

[@TheKobiDror]

I love the seats of the E-Jets. They are so comfy to sit it. The downside is a snowy A/C. E-Jets tend to let some ice crystals fall out of their vent slots. At least the ones I flew with. CRJs are a little less comfy to sit it but still ahead from A320s and B737s. The A220 is a very modern approach. Quieter in comparison to the older jets but not as comfy as CRJs and E-Jets. I haven't been on an E2-Jet and most likely want to fly in one of them.

[@maccarr9923]

E-jets are great for regional flights but man did Air Canada love chucking them on like 3+ hr flights

[@richarddastardly6845]

Q400 is my favourite regional plane. Fast takeoff, smooth ride, quiet cabin. I love travelling on it.

[@asystole_]

Quiet!? Compared to older turboprops maybe, but it's still far louder than a jet. Never particularly liked flying on the Q400. It's particularly unpleasant if you're in one of the seat rows near the engines (8-12ish?) not only because of the noise but because of how the high wing and engine pods block your view.

[@owencarey2954]

I love it as well; it made me very sad to hear that Alaska will be phasing out their Horizon Air Q400s. Still, it will be a long process, so I hope to get the chance to fly on it again.

[@planefan082]

I hate flying on the 1400, personally. The cabin is noisy and cramped plus the cabin pressurization isn't super reliable. Maybe I've had bad experiences, but one of the people I was flying with even had their eardrum swell because the pressurization was incorrect.

@@planefan082 that wasn't because it was a turboprop. Maybe it wasn't maintained well by whoever was operating it?

[@shuttleman27c]

As a ramp agent, I love the embraer 175. Low enough you can close cargo nets standing on the ground, door for the bin is in the middle of the bin making stacking easier, and it has a vent inside the bin that blasts air in to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. CRJ aircraft require a special handrail that we have 1 of but we don't get those at my airport. They say the 737 is low to make ground servicing easier but it doesn't do that. You can't close the bin doors from outside without a very tall guy or a belt loader, you can't close the nets without a belt loader, and being low gets in the way of walking underneath. Long live embraer!

[@largol33t1]

My favorite is the BAe 146. It looks like something out of a cartoon because of the ridiculous size of its engines compared to the fuselage.

[@ninjaz5736]

Favourites are the ATR and E175/195, the Embraer is a wonderful plane, smooth and in the right hands can be landed to perfection (*Italian Chef Kiss"), only annoyance is how damn loud the APU is! The ATR is (IMO) a better plane than the Dash 8, as it's simpler (doesn't have/need an APU, engines can start off batteries if needed and do not need bleed air, mechanical flight controls etc ) and more economical on shorter routes. It also has both Bulk Loading and ULD freight variants. However its lower crosswind limits due to the gear position do make it a little less suited to rough environments, it needs to be parked facing into wind (due to the flight controls and potential damage), and it's more liable to tip during boarding due to the rear door.

For flying with the major US regionals the Embraer E-Jet series is always my preferred ride. The ability of their jets to use standard airport gates rather than the 'commuter terminal gates' at many major US airports makes plane changes and connections much easier and much more timely. The E jet series are very comfortable and with full sized exit doors at both front and rear of the cabins I much prefer them to the CRJ series of aircraft.

[@largol33t1]

True. I heard the 2000 was so sophisticated that it could take off even if one prop failed in midflight! I've seen a demonstration video from Saab. My jaw hit the floor. The pilot clearly shut off one engine and it still took off.

[@NicolaW72]

@@largol33t1 The Saab 2000 has the reputation to be the most advanced Turboprob ever built. Unfortunately only a few numbers were sold, it was an economic failure which caused Saab from leaving the sphere of aircraft producers. The reasons for that are difficult to describe, mostly it is stated that the Saab 2000 was too expensive and advanced for most of the traditional Turboprob operating airlines while the other airlines choosed to buy regional jets instead of a turboprob. So the much more traditional Saab 340 in its both versions A and B was in opposite to the Saab 2000 and also the ATR 42 and 72 as much as the Dash 8 were huge economic successes, all of them much more traditional turboprobs. So it´s unfortunately also a story that the best and most modern technology doesn´t make always the race at the customers.

VIRGIN Airlines (VIRGIN Australia) have been the best airline by a mile every time I have flown with them. Absolutely hands down will try to fly with them in the future.

My favorites were the legacy turbo-props. I'm 6' 4" (193 cm) and I have legroom issues on regional gets. However, most turboprops that I've been on have plenty of legroom.

I’m planning to get an aircraft that is like at least an airliner or commercial uses so a regional airliner or aircraft that is the cheapest is my best pick

[@theharper1]

OK it might apply to the USA and Europe but does it really apply to east Asia and Oceania? I wonder what happened to the e190 fleet from Virgin? Qantas needs a plane for Lord Howe Island. I don't think anyone makes something suitable right now.

Last week I was on a Fokker 50 in Kenya, and also on a Dash8-100. It was a very different experience compared to the usual Airbus and Boeing planes.

[@vedantgorivale6061]

Loved those beautiful ATR's. I think that the Dash 8 and the ATR's are the perfect choice for regional airlines.

Gracias!

You kind of forgot the a318/319/320/321 when you talked about Regional Jets.. It's obviously a competitor to the CRJ 900 & CS300 from Bombardier, and the ARJ190 & 195 from Embraer. Boeing doesn't offer a Regional Jet.

[@u0aol1]

Nice, I was hoping to see more long form content from you. Great video man

[@LongHaulbySimpleFlying]

Thanks Dean!

[@atharvagajakas2900]

Heyy what happened to the take-off????

[@tedmeeuwsen712]

Interesting that the new breed of regional jets have the same seating capacity as the 1970 era B727 100 and the DC9.

[@thomaschadwick1557]

Production and maintenance issues aside, SSJ100 is wonderful plane. It's wonderful to fly with as a pilot and as a passanger, you get a space which E-Jet cannot compete with. Regarding cabin and space, A220/C-Series is major competitor. And the best from offer, with SSJ100 right behind.
