Now that all E-jets are in service, and the only announced developments of Embraer are Phenom VLJ and E190 Lineage private jet, what are the new big RJ projects in development,
anything wider than E-jets but narrower than 737:
Bombardier C-series
Antonov An-148
Sukhoi Superjet
ARJ-21
Rekkof
Mitsubishi
6 known projects in various stages of development, here.
Any updates of what each of the 6 above would be like, what the current state of progress is and when they are due?

The CSeries is still in development. They’ve made some wing changes, materials changes and have an engine agreement. They are looking for board aproval in Jan or Feb (again). Bombardier is also working on stretched CRJ900 and Q400.

Alot of Northern Ireland Bombardier employees believe it was something brought in by bombardier to give them the false impression of job security as they told staff sections would be built here but it never materialised.

The Bomardier C-Series was indefinately suspended as of Jan 31st 2006.

Was the C-series killed, then brought back only to be killed again?
I have heard such things, but I am not sure what the current status is – currently killed or surrently brought back?
