Looks like a, say, B320 :)
|
SSJ Clone... :E
|
Aircraft recognition just got that little bit more difficult ... :O
|
Embraer MRJ ?
|
Good luck to them :D

The load music drowning out the engine noise was played by a band hired by Bob Deluce no doubt!For those not Canucks, its all about Toronto City Center Airport {or Billy Bishop field if you prefer} and Bob Deluce of Porter Airlines trying to get it into City Center over the protests of local Nimbys.

From this morning's maiden flight...
The C series test aircraft just took off from CYMX this morning (09:56 local) on its maiden flight... Congrats to Bombardier!

So long as each one has CS100 on the tailplane I reckon it'll be a piece of cake!

It was all fun and games with the name calling and the jokes "Barbie jets" "Rice Rockets" "Jungle Jets" but these new generation mid size jets are for the first time posing a real threat to AB's & Boeing's most profitable and popular size...!
That is a nice looking A/C:ok: |
787 style nose/cockpit. Looks lovely.

I think this is worse for Airbus than for Boeing. The A320 is their meat and potatoes and offsets the likely never-to-be-recouped cost of the A380. The 777 has it all over the A340 and A330 and the 787, once debugged, is sure to have a huge advantage over the A350. Boeing can afford competition in the 737 sector but Airbus cannot in the A320 sector. It's good to have a third player again!

Always loved the build quality of the Bombardiers. Well done folks on designing another fine machine.
Just like Embaerer there must be an emerging sweet spot in the market for these size jets. How do they compare in price/maintenance/performance to a turboprop of similar size? |
Light weight + modern engines = big fuel efficiency.

That's all great, but how fast does it go? :ok:
