Bombardier CRJ700/900/1000
Your answers
Field marks
- Rear-fuselage engines plus a T-tail is the fastest way to separate any CRJ from an E-Jet, which has underwing engines and a conventional tail — the classic regional-jet split
- Small upturned winglets, canted about 25 degrees, appear on most 700/900/1000s built after 2005; earlier CRJ700s and any CRJ200 instead show a plain tip
- Fuselage length varies a lot across the family — a CRJ700 looks close to standard regional-jet proportions, while a CRJ1000 stretches noticeably longer
- Narrow, curved four-window cockpit glazing carries over unchanged from the CRJ200

Variant notes
- The CRJ900 (36.2 m, 24.9 m span) is the most numerous variant and the dominant type at North American regional carriers (Endeavor, PSA, SkyWest, GoJet)
- The CRJ700 (32.3 m) is the shortest and oldest of the three; many early-build CRJ700s kept the CRJ200-style straight winglets before the 2005 NextGen wing revision
- The CRJ1000 (39.1 m, 104 seats) is the longest and rarest, flown mostly outside North America (Air Nostrum, SAS) — it adds a third overwing exit not found on the 700/900
