What kind of aircraft is this?
This is a Bombardier CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) — a twin-engine regional jet with engines mounted at the rear. CRJ700/900 variants are widely flown by regional airlines that operate under major-airline brands.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).
There are 315 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 1,446 Bombardier Inc aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total. That's a well-established type that mechanics, pilots and regulators know very well.
An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Bombardier CRJ (CRJ200/700/900/1000) →

This happened before the current aircraft was built, so it involved a different aircraft that previously used this N-number.
NTSB probable cause: THE PILOT'S POOR JUDGEMENT, DUE TO CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL, AND HIS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE TAKEOFF RUN.
