Hey, I'm doing a project at UND comparing the electrical and fuel system of the CRJ-200 to the CRJ-700/900 series. If anyone can provide this information it would be greatly appreciated. I need a detailed description of the differences not just the basic specs. Thanks!!!

 

You want us to do your homework?

 

How the hell are universities validating projects like this. Instead of researching the Iranian Hostage Crisis or economic Game Theory or (name your topic)... they're now supporting term papers / projects examining the differencences in fuel systems. c'mon

This is why aviation degrees are a complete joke outside the profession.. and inside it for that matter.

 

Would you also like info on the CRJ200 systems? I am not a pilot, just a little stupid wannabe, but I will be interning at Lufthansa CityLine (regional) Technic in January. (In Germany we have the opportunity to do an internship in 11th grade (of 13). It doesn't mean any help in getting employed though but that doesn't matter for me. It's great info and a good knowledge base. I will be going back to the States for flying anyway...)
They gave me a "Technical Walkaround - Canadair Redional Jet 100/200" booklet. Let me know if I should scan a page or so or just type out what it says! I'd be more than happy to help. I like helping too and not always only recieving the help here!
So, let me know what you need.
EDIT: Oh, I just looked. There are three pretty interesting pages on the fuel system with pictures, graphics and texts...

 

Honestly, who does projects on aircraft fuel systems?? Is this what they are teaching at aviation colleges? Real useful stuff.

 

You have to excuse my UND comrade...as a UND graduate I can see his thinking. We tend to get a little more indepth at UND such as system components and such. That's why they call us the Harvard of the sky. Anyways...bubble874...if you go to the resource center in Clifford Hall, you will find tons of POH's for aircraft. I am sure you will find all the CRJ series in there. To tell you the truth, I don't think you will find that much difference between the series. Good luck and happy hunting.

 

Why don't you get a systems book for BOTH AIRCRAFT and do your own work! What's next....you have a checkride and you want someone to take it for you?

 

Oh my god...did I really just read that? I believe that title without a doubt belongs to Embry-Riddle. UND is nothing more than the the Tufts of the sky, where those without the academic acumen (or checkbook) of a true Ivy-Leaguer of the Sky are banished to.





OK, just kidding. Other than working with a lot of competent (if sometimes cocky) pilots from both schools, I don't really know anything about either one. I am eternally suspicious, though, of aviation degrees, as I think they sometimes fail to give students critical learning tools like knowing where research tools are on campus.

 

heres a pretty good site for the -200.

I have flown with very good pilots who graduated from UND and from Embry-Riddle. UND is known as the "UND of aviation" and Riddle is known as the "Riddle of Aviation".

So there.

FWIW, I have flown with some very good pilots from both places who really knew their stuff. I am not sure that I completely endorse aviation degrees, but you will for sure learn stuff there that you will not learn at the local FBO.
