Mr. Pierre Beaudoin of CEO Bombardier, Mr. Guy Hachey, CEO of Bombardier aircraft division,Porter Air LinesTop executives of the Canadian airline industry such as CEO Bob Deluce attended Bombardier's first flight ceremony of the C - series jet passenger plane on September 13 th, 2013, breathed and watched. The first flight of the C Series with 2,700 employees and 300 guests was finished successfully and Guy Hachey smiled after tears and said, "The first takeoff made the heart beat so fast" Did.

In the flight test conducted at CS 100 of the 110 seat specification and the CS 300 of the 130 seat specification, attendees standing 150 meters ahead flew quietly so that they could only hear a faint sound. Designed from scratch, the C series is lightweight, silent and realizes 20% less fuel consumption than conventional jet aircraft and take off to traverse the continent if there is a runway of only 4000 feet (about 1200 meters) It is possible.


For the past ten years, this size jet jet aircraft project was done only by Bombardier besides Boeing and Airbus, this challenger to challenge boxing world champion who keeps the belt. It has become a big challenge to be noticed by raising the country in the losing Canadian industry and the cost spent on the C series program has reached approximately 4 billion dollars. However, after the first flight, Bombardier's stock price fell 30 cents, and the sales target of the C series 300 aircraft before the service started did not increase, and the future of the C series was not yet guaranteed.


It seemed that Bombardier had no chance against Boeing and Airbus establishing customers. So in January 2006 Bombardier decided to postpone the C series program to prepare for the situation, redesigned it using the new carbon composite material on the wing, adopted the aluminum lithium alloy into the fuselage,Fly-by-wireWe introduce system and electric brake and make improvements.

In addition,Pratt & WhitneyCompany'sGeared turbofan engineBecome a new work ofPW1500GIt became the first manufacturer to install the contract. With engineering change and new engine, the cost of operating an aircraft has improved by 15%, and considerable fuel cost reduction has made dramatic progress in the industry.


Airbus has sold A319neo with a geared turbo fan engine mounted model of 156 seats, and Boeing was released a month ago737 MAXImprovement was added to. However, the fuel efficiency of the C series is not comparable to any jet aircraft, and it has begun to draw attention from airlines around the world. Currently C seriesEmbrWe have a fixed order of 177 aircraft, compared with 100 aircraft of Boeing, 30 aircraft of Boeing and 45 aircraft of Airbus.


Also, CanadaQuebecIn the C-series production plant in the state Mirabel, the labor force population will be increased to 3,500, and the related facilities of Pratt & Whitney are also planned to be constructed, and it is expected that the economic effect will increase greatly. Bombardier, which carried out the sluggish C Series project, has now become one of the leading Canadian companies shining in the global economy and has grown to become the third largest aircraft manufacturing company in the world.
