The reasons pushing aircraft manufacturers towards new technologies and the acceptance of such technologies by regional airlines are considered. Some specifics of the commuter market with regard to this acceptance are described. Precise examples based on experience gained during the design phase and marketing of the ATR 42 and ATR 72, which are recognized new technology commuterliners, are given. These examples include the Electronic Flight Instrument System cockpit, composite materials on primary and secondary structures, and carbon brakes. These examples show that, as a general rule, novel techniques are well accepted provided that the real benefits can be properly substantiated by the manufacturer.
