Alliance Aircraft is close to lauching a new line of Regional Jets, the Starliner 70 & 90. They allready have LOI's for 30 planes and intend to have about 100 by July when the plane will be lauched. They are allready studying a 30 and 50 seater plane.
They plan to break even at 100 planes only. Of the the $660 million needed to develop the aircraft, $250 million was coming from private investors and $170 million from risk-sharing partners who would help build the plane. The rest would be provided by suppliers keen to get their products, such as engines, on the plane!

Are there any details/diagrams/etc anywhere? Sounds great, but for a company pushing a brand new plane, they sure don't put out much info. There website is basically devoid of any useful information. I really want to see something more!
