The first made in Japan passenger jet in four decades reaches a development milestone later this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A “rolling out” ceremony in Nagoya, central Japan on Saturday will unveil the long awaited Mitsubishi Regional Jet, or MRJ, a fuel-efficient lightweight carbon-fiber composite passenger plane.<\/p>\n

Major Japanese machinery maker Mitsubishi Heavy Industries says the MRJ90 will seat 88 people, while the MRJ70 will seat 76, and the planned MRJ100X will have 100 seats.<\/p>\n

The plane is billed as fuel-efficient, quiet and green, with a comfortable cabin of relatively wide seats and high ceilings.<\/p>\n

The first flight is planned for the second quarter of next year, with test flights to follow totaling 2,500 hours, and the first deliveries are set for 2017.<\/p>\n

MRJ has received 191 orders, from All Nippon Airways, Trans State Holdings, SkyWest, Air Mandalay and Eastern Air Line with 184 additional purchase options.<\/p>\n

Japan Airlines announced in August it will buy 32 of the jets, with deliveries set for 2021,<\/strong> although the final deal has not yet been inked.<\/p>\n

The MRJ is Japan’s first nationally funded, domestically manufactured passenger aircraft since the YS-11, a turboprop airplane that was discontinued in 1973.<\/p>\n
