British Aerospace BAe 146 / Avro RJ Family
The BAe 146 and its updated Avro RJ descendants form a four-engine regional-jet family optimized for short runways, steep approaches, and airports with strict noise constraints. The high wing, large airbrake, and built-in ground-handling features supported airline, cargo, government, and remote-field work. After passenger production ended, converted BAe 146 and Avro RJ airframes became an important part of the modern large-air-tanker fleet.
