Bombardier C Series

Bombardier is a Canadian heavy industry corporation which is also known for smaller commercial airplane maker. Already learjet (business jet) and CRJ (Canadian Regional Jet) 700 or 900 (1000 basically based on 900) series very popular demand from the market.

Bombardier brand new CSeries is the new and bigger airplane (slightly smaller than Boeing 737 and A320. 100 or 149 seats, range between 2.200NM and 2.950NM almost middle range, competing with the ERJ 190.

This brand new airplane will challenge seriously B737 and A320 as the fuel efficiency and currently the most popular commercial airlines demand. A little bigger than CRJ, so this is NOT regional jet (the price is almost double than smaller CRJ).

New generation of turbo-fan engine is supplied by Pratt & Whitney

Embraer E-Jets and Boeing 737 or Airbus 320 series are main rivals at the moment.
