Has anyone ever seen photos of this variant?
One version that did see the light of day was the Metro 25, which featured an increased passenger capacity of 25 at the expense of the baggage space found in earlier models; the deletion of the left rear cargo door and the addition of a passenger door on the right-hand rear fuselage; and a belly pod for baggage. A Metro III was converted as a Metro 25 demonstrator, it flew in this configuration in October 1989.[14] Also mooted but not built was the Metro 25J, which would have been another jet-powered aircraft with TFE731s in over-wing pods.[12]

Re: Metro 25
How about pics of the Metro 25, Metro IIIA (P&W power), and the tabled Metro V?

Re: Metro 25
Many thanks! I have looked everywhere for a pic of the Metro 25 but once again the Avcanada forum has provided the results.
The Metro 5 also looks interesting with the modified cockpit window and 'T' tail.

Re: Metro 25
Cool stuff! I think they were also thinking of a model with a stan-up cabin.

Re: Metro 25
Hey...don't laugh. The CRJ100 and 200 don't have them. I'm pretty sure Bombardier decided not to test either at night.I like how the Metro V showcases "OVERHEAD MAP LIGHTS"
"The ability to ditch an airplane in the Hudson does not qualify a pilot for a pay raise. The ability to get the pilots, with this ability, to work for 30% or 40% pay cuts qualifies those in management for millions in bonuses."
Re: Metro 25
The Metro V and Metro VI were both designed to be standup versions. The taller fuselage necesitated the T-tail. They were in developement at the same time as the 1900D. The V was to be fitted with the 1100 SHP -12 engines, while the VI would have had the larger-14s. They opted to produce neither. Instead, they made minor changes to the existing Metro design and had it recertified under part 23. Hense the Metro 23.
The inability to follow does not necessarily a great leader make.
Re: Metro 25
Too bad! I fly the the 23 in cargo config. Great plane.
The proposed V/VI or 25 would have been sweet. No one makes commuter category planes anymore.
