The Mitsubishi SpaceJet (Japanese: 三菱スペースジェット, originally named Mitsubishi Regional Jet) was a regional jet project by Japanese company Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (MAC), a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) subsidiary. On 6 February 2023, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries terminated the Spacejet project alltogether, stating the uncertainty of the regional jet market size, and announced plans to dissolve its Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation subsidiary.Only yesterday I heard from a Japanese that the Mitsubishi Company of Japan researched for two decades to build civilian planes. It was built but was not recognized by IATA or some other international authority.
And in the process of research, Mitsubishi spent and lost $10 billion worth of money. Note that it was Mitsubishi that built 0 fighters in the 1940s that was the best in the world at that time. Subaru was another company.
Among other factors in its demise, two other regional jet competitors which were introduced sooner was the slightly larger Airbus (Bombardier) A220 and the Embraer (Brazil) 190 E2. The regional jet market was already saturated and could not take a 3rd contender without inflicting heavy losses on all contenders.
