Hey.
If we want to fly small, efficient airplane, but we dont want to use prop plane we can choose Avroliner.
Can we have this plane in fleet?

This is small airplane, powered by 4 jet engines, capable to carry 82–112 passengers on routes up to 1500nm long with step approach and quite STOL style (like London City - EGLC).
Feature of this plane is that it have no thrust reversers at all, only speedbrakes and wheel brakes are used to slow it down.

I have run through wikipedia with 3 airplanes in mind: ERJ-190, F100 and RJ100.

Comparsion is on F100 side. Exacly talking: RJ100 is just below of F100 stats in basic performance, so in my opinion, we could use RJ100 in exchange with F100 on its routes (same as F70 use).

Some numbers:
RJ100 vs F100
Pax number: 82-122 vs around 107
Range: 1570 vs 1621 (anyway in wikipedia is 1600nm for F100, because other sources tells up to 3000nm)
Cruise speed: 0.68 vs 0.73 mach
Ceiling: FL310 vs FL350
MTOW: 46020 vs 43390 kg
Takeoff distance: 1600 vs 1700m

ANy more thoughts about this birdy? :)
