Looking for aircraft performance charts

[Bob3213]

Our company is currently expanding and now we are looking at the Dornier 328 (prop-job and Jet), the SAAB 340B, Bombardier Canadair CRJ100 and -200 series. But now to get the "real" info on the performance on these planes is a nightmare!!! Of course the aircraft manufacturer gave me some info, but that is all sugarcoated and could've been found in a Aviation magazine. Where can I find graphs on the performance of these aeroplanes or proper info ...without the "why our aeroplane is the better one"? Any advice would be appreciated!

Bob,

Most manufacturers will send you an AFM on CD if you ask nicely and are about to buy one of their aircraft. Failing that you can normally buy an AFM from their tech pubs dept for around $50. This is not much to ensure your research is accurate and could be money well spent.
