Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) will also be flight tested at the Grant County International Airport at Moses Lake, Washington in the United States, in addition to flight tests in Japan.
The flight tests are slated to begin at Moses Lake in fall 2015 and currently preparations are underway.
To conduct the flight test Mitsubishi has concluded an LOI (Letter of Intent) with Aerospace Testing Engineering & Certification L.L.C. (AeroTEC), which has expertise in flight testing.
The County International Airport was selected due to the large aerospace industry cluster located in Washington State. Additionally, the airport satisfies all major requirements as a flight test center, including long runways necessary for specific flight tests, flexibility for take-offs/landings due to no regular transport services, and greater chance of fair weather.
