The Avro RJ100 (formerly BAe 146-300) is the third variant of the Avro 'RJ' family of regional aircraft. It features an atypical, over-fuselage wing along with four engines which is very unique to a regional turbofan aircraft. While a popular aircraft flying from the 1980's into the early 2000's, the aircraft no longer sees normal airline service with most of it's examples either retired/scrapped or used for charter services. The decline in use is mainly due to the economics of operating four engines compared to the modern day standard of two on regional aircraft. The Avro RJ100 typically flew short to medium routes with small to medium demand.
