The first Japanese passenger airliner MRJ made a test flight.

A few days ago, the aviation resource Avia.pro already reported on the first successful tests of the new passenger airliner Mitsubishi Regional Jet, and just the day before, this aircraft took off for the first time. During the first test flight, no problems were identified, which in turn was noted by both the pilots and observers who were on the ground, however, tests of this aircraft in the air will continue for at least six months, and if all of them are successful, then within the next few years the aircraft will go into mass production.

According to preliminary data, the first passenger airliner Mitsubishi Regional Jet will go into commercial use in the middle of the 2017 year, while the aircraft itself will be produced in two basic configurations, designed for 76 and 88 passengers, respectively.
