The BAe 146 (also known as the Avro RJ) is a medium-sized commercial aircraft which was manufactured by BAE Systems until 2002. It is often also called Avro 146 or Jumbolino, even though these terms are not official.

It carries its four jet engines on a high wing which is above the fuselage (not below, or at mid-fuselage, as on most conventional civilian aircraft). The aircraft has STOL capabilities and very quiet operation; it has been marketed under the name Whisperjet., It sees wide usage at small city-based airports. In its primary role it serves as a regional jet, short-haul airliner or feederliner. The freight-carrying version has the designation 'QT' ("quiet trader").

The BAe 146 comes in -100, -200 and -300 models. The -300 model includes a glass cockpit and sees wide use among European airlines, such as Lufthansa and Aegean Airlines.

The only commercial jet with 4 turbofan jet engines (earning it the nickname Jumbolino) on a wing that is mounted on top of the fuselage, the BAe 146 also has a T-tail. Having extremely large flaps and spoilers, and a large split air brake mounted in the tail, the plane does not need reverse thrust at landing. Consequently, the four engines (supplied by the U.S. manufacturer Lycoming) do not have this facility. The plane can take off and land on extremely short runways, such as those at Mönchengladbach, Aspen, and at London City Airport, a converted dock.
