BAe 146
The BAe 146 is a high-wing regional jet with four turbofans hung below the wing and a T-tail, built by British Aerospace at Hatfield and later at Woodford, England, from 1980 to 2002. Its four Avco Lycoming ALF502 engines are each paired with an electrical or hydraulic system, giving it twin systems. The Series 100 was certified in February 1983, the longer Series 200 that June and the Series 300 in 1988, all on the same 86 ft 5 in wing; the later Avro RJ models share its type certificate. Freighter and quick-change versions were also built.
