CRJ100/200 vs Challenger Q.

[AV8OR]

Anybody know whether or not the CRJ100/200 wing is the same as any of the Challenger models? Thanks.

Wingspand is bigger on the CL65

CL65 69ft
Cl600 series 65 ft


Length stretched 19 ft

Just like the G-200 has the same wing as the G-100 with an increased-sized center section, the CL-65 has the same wing as the 600-series Challengers with a larger center section (which gives the added wingspan). In other words, they bolted the wing of the Challenger on a new wing center section for the CL-65. So they do have the same wing (sort of).

Technically, the wing of the CL-65 is a Candair 13.2% airfoil (at the root) and the wing of the CL-600 series is the Canadair 14% airfoil. Both aircraft have the Canadair 10% airfoil at the tip.

Thanks for the intel!

Or you could just look at the two aircraft and realize that the extension is a 2 foot panel added out at the wingtip. The winglet on a Challenger is much closer to the aileron than it is on the CRJ 100/200.

The CRJ also has longer chord length flaps that cover the flap track fairings, you can see the flap track fairings extend beyond the trailing edge on a Challenger. This probably accounts for the 13.2% airfoil vs. 14% airfoil mentioned above.
