Avro RJ question... since there is no forum for it yet...
-
Hello,
I think the RJ 85 has a cargo option, the RJ 100 not if i am not mistaken. The RJ 70 i have no clue.
So i cant give a decent answer on that if they will include a freighter version like the 146.
They were planned for the RJ100 but they stopped the program i believe.
We will see or hear what just flight is planning to do.The RJ has auto land capabilities. That is what was written in the announcement by Just flight.
So it will have auto throttle, I guess.Happy flying and enjoy the weekend.
Kind regards,
Davy Wittebols

I think they were planned but I'm not sure if they were built, but will the RJ have a cargo variant? Pls say yes. :smiling_face:
Or can/will the 146 get one of the retrofits variants?

@melon The RJ does have autothrust and Cat 3 Autoland. The engines have FADEC but still suffered the 146/RJ's perennial problem of running out of puff at FLs above 280ish. To get a fully loaded RJ up to FL330 needed careful nursing.

We are not currently planning cargo variants of our RJ. As far as I know, the real-world manufacturer cancelled their plans for the cargo variants (focused at least initially on the RJ100). We'd be happy to consider including them if there was enough interest or anyone can find real-world examples.

@martyn I'd kill for the cargo variant, I love doing cargo runs more than passenger runs. :grinning_squinting_face:
Even if it was just the demonstrator model... and then people could make their own liveries for it that would be great. :folded_hands:
I'd pay a little extra for a standalone module if I had too.

Look at him, just begging to be loading with cargo...

@melon also I pretty much only fly the non-passenger variants (Freight, RAF, QC etc).
Gives alot more freedom not having to worry about virtual passengers, and don't have to look at real schedules to feel immersed.
Can fly where I want and just pretend we getting paid by some big business to shift their stuff around the world.

Hello,
Would be nice to have also the cargo variant.

Interesting history, I found alot of marketing for the RJ100 freighter but it seems they didn't get enough orders to do the conversions.
We may find instead some BAE 146 QC/QT that have Avionics upgrades to partial glass cockpit?
I found some reference to BAE 146M which is Avro RJM a military QC https://www.regional-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BAe-146M-Avro-RJM-FOR-WEB-2.pdf
Is this different to the existing military variants we have with BAE146 or its just another name for same thing?

Will there be a 50 percent discount for 146 owners ?
I like round numbers. 😁
You can't get much rounder than zero - but maybe, if there is a discount, it won't be a round number?

And this is even rounder than a Zero:

A cargo variant of the RJ would be amazing! I really hope you can do it :crossed_fingers:

@martyn With the new news update is there any info on the possibility of the cargo variant? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

@martyn The latest development update of the Avro looks great. One remark, i still see a tailbumper on the RJ-85 pictures (Sabena, Crossair).
None of the Avro RJ's had a tailbumper anymore, so it would be nice to remove this tailbumper prior to release the product. Thanks and great work !
