XJT and CommutAir

Maybe they could send the Q200s back to Bomberdier and get them stretched to Q400s? Then they would be in great demand and at a fraction of buying a new Q400!

The Q400 is a totally different Beast then the others (100/200/300). You just can't grab a Q200 and stretch it to a Q400.

Why not? Look what they did with the DC-9/MD-80. I think you are wrong. All it should take is a simple fuselage plug to make a Q200 into a Q400.

Nope, the Q400 trues out at about 100kts more. The wing struts, Tail Section, Rudder.... etc.. etc.. would have to be totally rebuilt. All the speed limitations on the Q400 at way different then the other Q's. Thats why I said the Q400 was a totally different airplane.

There were plugs used to make the 100's into 300's, but it can't be done with a Q400.

NOT possible!!! Been part of the Bombardier family at one point and by reading all their mail that states all of their long term projects, I don't see it happening. This will probably slow their sales on the Q4 which is their bread and butter.

Well if Bomberdier won't do it, then a third party conversion should be started. In addition to the Qs, they could stretch 50 seat CRJs into CRJ 700s and 900s and could also stretch ERJs into 70 seaters easily. This would allow cash strapped smaller regionals an economical way to get into larger RJs without the large capitol outlay of buying new.

Wow.

Your ignorance regarding the airframes and systems of these planes and their respective differes shines as bright as the sun at midday in the Sahara!

Slow weekend hunh?!?

Maybe someone at Riddle could write a paper on how to stretch 50 seat RJs into 70 and 90 seat RJs, providing the regionals an economical way into larger aircraft which is the future of the airlines.

If this post isn't enough reason to "block" this moron's posts, I don't know what is. It is bad enough you haven't figured out how to speak the English language you also don't know a thing about aviation/airline industry.

...have you finished your homework yet?
