How about a Lear RJ

[Sprint100]

Me and a buddy were talking and figured Lear would be really competitive in the RJ market. If they were to make 50+ seat carriers, they may do well off of name recognition alone. What do you guys think? (Hopefully, this'll get us off of that vanity plate thing LOL).

Take a look at the Bombardier CRJ. Used to be associated with Canadair, who was associated with Lear. So Lear is in the bloodlines.

I think Learjet is still part of Bombardier.

Bombardier Aerospace has:
Challenger Jets
Canadair Regional Jets
Learjets
Global Express Aircraft

I doubt they would put the effort into a Lear RJ. I can see how the Challengers turned into RJs, they have larger cabin cross sections than the Lear. Now....I could see a Dassault RJ!

On that note, how about one from gulfstream?!

Gulfstream? PFT! PFT! Stay away! PFT! Oops, you mean the manufacturer. my bad, wrong thread.

Why would Gulfstream want to make a bus - it is like Rolls Royce making a small compact car. Just because it is the same product, the markets are different.
