Just curious as to how these aircraft compare to other commercial aircraft of similar size.
Example: Most Gulfstreams/Canadiars/Falcons are not much larger than your average CRJ/ERJ... in fact I have difficulty telling the difference when they fly over my house here near IAD (however once I see the paint scheme it's easy to tell.) But it seems like the these aircraft outperform the the RJs in just about every area. Bigger engines? Bigger wing? or just having half the passengers makes it perform better?
Also, I just jumpseated on a CRJ 200 and was pretty impressed with all the EFIS going on in there. Similar setup in most corporate jets or do they have more?
