The new Canadair jet, which is a 50 seat, short range aircraft, derived from the Challenger CL-601 business travel aircraft, is described. The aircraft was developed for takeoff and landing on small airports without modern runways. It is equipped with two General Electric CF34-3A1 turbofan engines with thrust inverters, which are environmentally safe: low fuel consumption, nitrogen oxide emissions and noise levels. Hot air is used for deicing of lift wings and turbine inlets. The cockpit is equipped with headup guidance system, electronic flight information system, EICAS (Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System), and dual flight management system. The Canadair Jet is the first aircraft of its category to be certificated for all weather operations and is equipped with collision and shear wind warning systems.
