How the Avro RJ100 fits into the BAe 146 / RJ story

Avro RJ100 is the representative branch of the BAe 146 / Avro RJ family, capturing the later high-capacity branch most associated with the family’s final passenger phase.

This page isolates the Avro RJ100 branch of the BAe 146 / Avro RJ family, focusing on the engines, service entry, seating, range, and mission role that justify a dedicated variant page while keeping the family history on the canonical parent URL.

Why it branches from the family

The Avro RJ100 is treated as the representative branch because it captures the later high-capacity branch most associated with the family’s final passenger phase.

Variant pages stay intentionally narrower than the family page so differences in cabin, engines, mission, and market role remain clear without duplicating the full program history.
