about this company

 

Vision/Mission

Applying advanced mainline jet technology to regional jet design to create the new standard for next-generation regional jets. Offering unprecedented values for environment, passengers, and airlines.

 

Business Description

Development, production, sales and customer support of the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ). We are aiming to inherit the technical foundations of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and contribute to the skies of the world by offering the best solution with the next generation jet – the MRJ.

 

Background

Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation commenced operation in April 2008, after the program-launch announcement made in March 2008. The MRJ is a next-generation regional jet developed by Mitsubishi Aircraft based on technology cultivated by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. over the years through its development and production of both military and commercial aircraft.

As the leading company in the Japanese aerospace industry, MHI has been engaged in the development and production of a wide variety of aerospace products that have contributed to the advancement of Japan, a technology-oriented nation.

In the civil aircraft sector, MHI is engaged in the development and manufacture of major airframe components, such as structural parts for the Boeing 767, 777 and 787, as well as Japan’s principle rocket, the H-II, fulfilling a leading role in the Japanese space industry.

 

Products/Services

The MRJ is a family of 70 to 90-seat next-generation regional jets under development by Mitsubishi Aircraft. The MRJ will offer substantially higher fuel efficiency combined with reductions in noise and emissions, and also provide spacious cabin comfort on a level unprecedented in regional jets to date.

 

Markets

Passenger traffic is expected to be about three times higher after 20 years. Demand for the regional jet market during the next 20-year period is projected to be more than 5,000 units due to the market trend of "up-sizing" from 50-seat RJs and route-transfers from mainline jets to large RJs in consequence of high fuel prices and low passenger yields.

We already have 407 orders (including options) from the US, Myanmar and Japan. Our main focus will be North America and Europe, since North America is the largest market. We are promoting MRJ70 and MRJ90 as the replacement for the current 50-seat jets in the US and for the old regional jets in Europe. We are also looking at Asia, which is the world’s fast growing market.

 

Industry

The MRJ belongs to the regional jet market, which is for aircraft seating fewer than 100 passengers.

Competitive Advantages

The MRJ has advantages in three areas: Fuel efficiency, passenger comfort and environmental impact.

Highest Fuel Efficiency

With the MRJ, game-changing efficiency comes standard. The MRJ's new engines, its advanced aerodynamics and high aspect ratio wing all equate to a jet that uses 20% less fuel than comparable commercial jets.

Most Passenger Comfort

We designed the MRJ accordingly. By taking the cargo hold out of the belly, we were able to significantly increase passenger space. The MRJ will have a four-abreast seat configuration, with large overhead bins, and also feature a slim seat that offers heightened comfort to passengers. Larger in every dimension, it's aesthetically pleasing, too.

Lowest Environment Impact

The MRJ offers unmatched environmental performance. With the lowest fuel burn, noise and emissions of any comparable jet, the MRJ exceeds all next-generation environmental standards. The MRJ is the greenest jet in its class and years ahead of ICAO CAEP/8 standards. New engines and advanced aerodynamics help the MRJ achieve a 40% reduction in noise area compared to similar regional jets. Its Effective Perceived Noise in Decibels (EPNdB) is already much lower than the future ICAO CAEP Chapter 14 noise standard.

 

Financial Projection

We target to get more than 1,000 orders for the regional jet market. For the demand by region, we are projecting 30% of our sales in North America, 20% in Europe, and 20% in Asia, with 30% in the rest of the world. We are conducting our sales activities based on this projection.

 

Company Goals & Objectives

Mitsubishi Aircraft remains firmly committed to the success of the MRJ program as well as the growth of Japan’s aviation industry.
