November 11 has been a special day. A company I respect tremendously has gone back to doing something they haven't done for the last 60 years. Mitsubishi has built an aircraft again and on November 11 the Mitsubishi Regional Jet took to the skies for the first time. After a perfect sortie and a perfect landing, Mitsubishi will now proceed to file for FAA approval and soon the MRJ will be available for commercial purchase.
The last time Mitsubishi built an aircraft, it slaughtered the competition: the little plane, the A6M was known to its enemies as The Zero.
Airbus and Embraer need to be afraid. Very afraid.
