Re: Rumor: Jetblue E190 Decision imminent and Europe news?
Reuters said A220 (CSeries) is a "lock" now. And it looks like Airbus provided B6 some early delivery slots for A321neo to win this order. The CSeries has been locked in a fierce competition for a deal to supply jets to U.S. carrier JetBlue (JBLU.O) and is in poll position to win as Airbu...

Re: CSeries - Flight Testing And Production Thread (Part 2)
Unless BBD can pick up their delivery pace I doubt we'll see any more orders. There is clearly a major production delay issue. Why would anybody order an aircraft that looks likely to be significantly delayed? As has already been much discussed in this thread, the problem is not with BBD. It's Prat...

I believe it wasn't uninterrupted production, but the DHC-6 Twin Otter was introduced in 1965 and the latest series are in production by Viking now.

I like it overall, but I'm not convinced by the racoon eyes.
Also I feel like it will look best on CRJs. The shape of the windows seems to fit the racoon mask better.

Wow, that 1955 Constellation video is amazing. It really goes to show how the big issue for quality video back then was mostly transmission-related. Good cameras definitely existed back then, but the TV output people would see was a far cry from what they could record. There's something fascinating ...

Definitely BBD's next program will be derivative. The question will be what has the most potential between iterating on the C Series, CRJ, or Q Series. CS500 is an obvious choice, especially considering it would be only a "one" stretch of the CS300 (the CS100 technically being a shrink of ...

BBD has not cut production staff on the Cseries, au contraire. If they stick to the 2017 delivery target of 30-35 aircraft, what happens with the 8-13 missing aircraft that were supposed to be delivered in 2016? Everything gets pushed back, I suppose. Honestly, I have little confidence in BBD to de...

According to http://www.fliegerfaust.com/ HB-JBC is going to be delivered in the next 48h. As far as I can see, this aircraft only flew once so far. Is that possible? . It first flew on 24th of September and flew probably a few more times after that - for instance there was a flight yesterday.
