✈Mitsubishi Aircraft sets up new MRJ programme management unit
The Japanese manufacturer tells FlightGlobal that the new division, effective 1 January 2018, will clarify the roles and responsibilities so as to execute the MRJ programme “more efficiently”.
Mitsubishi has also restructured its engineering division. The new structure will be split into five departments: aircraft integration, mechanical system design, electrical system design, airframe design and avionics, fly-by-wire and software design.
The change, also to be rolled out next year, will help achieve more efficient communication and quicker decision making, says Mitsubishi.
Mitsubishi is targeting to deliver the first MRJ90 to launch customer All Nippon Airways by mid-2020.
