 | | "Our final calculations show the Avro RJX to be about one percent better in fuel burn and one minute faster in block speed at 400 nmi than earlier predictions," he said. |
 | | The new Avro RJX family, powered by four Honeywell AS977 engines, offers up to 15% reduction in fuel burn, 20% reduction in engine maintenance costs and a 500 lb (227 kg) lower empty weight compared with the Avro RJ. |
 | | Performance from demanding airfields such as London City, Florence and Aspen, where the Avro RJ already gives its operators a major competitive advantage, will be greatly improved with the Avro RJX. |
