Project Open Sky Releases Bombardier CRJ 700

Project Open Sky would like to announce the release of the much-anticipated, and one of our longest running project, CRJ700 V3.

Development spanned over 4 years since our first decision was made to develop this aircraft. This project evolved from V1 to V2 (both not released), and from V2 to what is now version 3. Version 3 incorporates the latest XML animation control system as seen on our 777 V2 series. Also featured is the Lektro™ pushback truck.

We hope that you will all enjoy our work.
