The objects of such science are contested terrain since the search for how and why something happened is pervaded by interests. And the searchers themselves are involved in power relations and conflicts. Ignoring and obscuring critical events help to protect pre- dominant actors and their interest.

  • First MRJ Flight Test Aircraft Final Assembly Commences Mid Fuselage Arrives at MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works Komaki South Plant
    First MRJ Flight Test Aircraft Final Assembly Commences Mid Fuselage Arrives at MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works Komaki South Plant Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation Nagoya, October 15, 2013 – Final assembly of the first MRJ flight test aircraft under development by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) got underway today at the Komaki South Plant of MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works located in Aichi Prefecture. The start of final assembly follows the October 13 transfer of the aircraft's mid fuselage fabricated at the Tobishima Plant also in Aichi Prefecture. Assembly of the aircraft will progressively advance as other sections of the fuselage, main wings and other structural components arrive, after which electrical wiring, hydraulic and other systems will be installed, followed by other necessary equipment. In step with final assembly, plans call for the vertical tail and horizontal stabilizer – built at MHI's Oye Plant in Nagoya – as well as the aircraft's remarkably fuel-efficient cutting-edge engine – supplied by Pratt & Whitney – to be integrated to the airframe. The MRJ, Japan's first-ever commercial passenger jet, is on the road to becoming a reality. Looking ahead, Mitsubishi Aircraft and MHI will continue working closely with MRJ program partners, moving steadily towards successfully completing this next-generation regional jet that will offer outstanding fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, and cabin comfort. About the MRJ The Mitsubishi Regional Jet is a family of 70- to 90-seat next-generation aircraft featuring Pratt & Whitney's revolutionary PurePower® engine and state-of-the-art aerodynamics enabling drastic reductions in fuel consumption, noise and emissions while offering top-class operational benefits and an outstanding cabin with large overhead bins and other features designed for heightened passenger comfort.

  • MRJ Development Status and Progress of Preparations Towards Full- Fledged Manufacture
    MRJ Development Status And Progress of Preparations towards Full- fledged Manufacture Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation Nagoya, April 10, 2015 – Today Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation jointly released their latest status report concerning progress in developing the MRJ (Mitsubishi Regional Jet), their next-generation regional jet. Simultaneously they also reported on the current state of preparations for expanding production bases towards inauguration of the new aircraft’s manufacture. Details are outlined below. Going forward, progress will be periodically disclosed. 1. Start of business operations under a new structure Effective April 1 MHI and Mitsubishi Aircraft launched a new management structure to facilitate transition of the MRJ project from the development stage to the manufacturing phase, and under the new framework initiatives are moving forward towards more unified operations. Prior to inauguration of the new structure, in January Mitsubishi Aircraft relocated its complete Head Office functions to the Nagoya Airport Terminal Building (Toyoyama-cho, Aichi Prefecture) next to where the MRJ’s final assembly, ground testing and flight test are performed. Relocation to this site has resulted in a highly efficient business operating structure. 2. Progress status of aircraft development Presently static strength testing and manufacture of the second and subsequent flight test aircraft are all proceeding smoothly. In order to fully incorporate the verification results of the various ground tests and related feedback into the first flight test aircraft, the timing of the first flight has been reviewed and is now scheduled for September or October of this year. Going forward, MHI and Mitsubishi Aircraft will implement intensive flight test after the first flight and accelerate manufacture of the aircraft towards first delivery, as scheduled, during the second quarter of 2017.
