Bombardier

Bombardier Aerospace (French: Bombardier Aéronautique) is a division of Bombardier Inc., which is a Canadian multinational aerospace and transportation company.
Bombardier was founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier as L'Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée on January 29, 1942, at Valcourt in the Eastern Townships, Quebec. Starting as a maker of snowmobiles, over the years it has grown into a large manufacturer of regional airliners, business jets, mass transportation equipment, recreational equipment and a provider of financial services. In 1967 the company was renamed Bombardier Limited.
After acquiring Canadair in 1986 and restoring it to profitability, Bombardier acquired the near-bankrupt Short Brothers aircraft manufacturing company in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1989. Followed by the acquisition of the bankrupt US company Learjet, a manufacturer of business jets headquartered in Wichita, Kansas in 1990. And finally the money-losing Boeing subsidiary, de Havilland Aircraft of Canada based in Toronto, Ontario in 1992.
In October 2017, Airbus and Bombardier announced a partnership on the CSeries program, with Airbus acquiring a 50.01% majority stake, Bombardier keeping 31% and Investissement Québec 19%, with a second assembly line to open in Mobile, Alabama, USA.

Bombardier Challenger 300

The Bombardier BD-100 Challenger 300 is a super-mid-sized jet capable of traversing transcontinental distances. The project was launched at the Paris Air Show on July 13, 1999, at which time it was called the Bombardier Continental. It was a "clean sheet" design, assembled in Bombardier's Learjet plant at Wichita Mid-Continent airport, Kansas. The jet was renamed in September 2002 after much debate about which category (Learjet, Challenger, or Global) the new aircraft fit into. It entered commercial service in January 2004.

Bombardier CRJ

The Bombardier CRJ (for Canadair Regional Jet) is a family of regional airliners manufactured by Bombardier, consisting of:
        CRJ100 (50 seats),
        CRJ200 (50 seats),
        CRJ700 (70 seats),
        CRJ705 (75 seats),
        CRJ900 (90 seats),
        CRJ1000 (100 seats).
The aircraft was based on the Canadair Challenger design, which was purchased by Canadair from Bill Lear in 1976. In 1987, studies began for a much more ambitious stretched configuration, leading to the formal launch of the Canadair Regional Jet program in the spring of 1989. The "Canadair" name was retained despite the fact that Bombardier had bought out the company.

Bombardier CRJ100

The CL-600 design was stretched 5.92 meters to create the CRJ100, with fuselage plugs fore and aft of the wing, two more emergency exit doors, plus a reinforced and modified wing. Typical seating was 50 passengers, the maximum load being 52 passengers. The CRJ100 featured a Collins ProLine 4 avionics suite, Collins weather radar, General Electric CF34-3A1 turbofans, new wings with extended span, more fuel capacity, and improved landing gear to handle the higher weights. It was followed by the CRJ100 ER subvariant with 20% more range, and the CRJ100 LR subvariant with 40% more range than the standard CRJ100. The CRJ100 SE sub-variant was produced to more closely meet the needs of corporate and executive operators.

Bombardier CSeries

The Bombardier CSeries or C Series is a family of narrow-body, twin-engine, medium-range jet airliners.
In 2004 the creation of a New Commercial Aircraft Program was evaluated, followed by a feasibility study for the CSeries: to replace aging DC-9/MD-80, Fokker 100, Boeing 737 Classic and BAe-146 with 20% lower operating costs, and 15% lower than aircraft produced at the time. The smaller version should carry 110 to 115 passengers and the larger 130 to 135 passengers over 3,200 nautical miles.
On May 2005, the CSeries development was evaluated at US$2.1 billion, shared with suppliers and partner governments for one-third each.
On 31 January 2006, Bombardier announced that market conditions could not justify the launch of the program. However, on 31 January 2007, Bombardier announced that work on the aircraft would continue, with entry into service planned for 2013.
On 13 July 2008 the CSeries was formally launched.
In March 2009, Bombardier redesignated the C110 and C130 respectively CS100 and CS300. The models were offered in normal and extended range (ER) versions, additionally, an extra thrust (XT) version of the CS300 was also offered. The ER and XT versions were removed in 2012 by Bombardier, providing a standard range equal to the one previously identified as extended range.
In November 2009, the program was estimated at $3.5 billion, shared with suppliers and governments. First flight was expected in 2012. In 2010, deliveries of the CS100 were planned to start in 2013, and CS300 deliveries were to follow a year later.
US Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency certification for the CS100 was granted in June 2016. The first CSeries, a CS100 (HB-JBA), was delivered to Swiss Global Air Lines on 29 June 2016 at Montréal-Mirabel International Airport.
On 16 October 2017, Airbus and Bombardier Aerospace announced a partnership on the CSeries program, with Airbus acquiring a 50.01% majority stake, Bombardier keeping 31% and Investissement Québec 19%, to expand in an estimated market of more than 6,000 new 100-150 seat aircraft over 20 years. Airbus’s supply chain expertise should save production costs but headquarters and assembly remain in Québec while U.S. customers would benefit from a second assembly line in Mobile, Alabama. This transaction was subject to regulatory approvals and was expected to be completed in 2018. Airbus did not pay for its share in the program, nor did it assume any debt. Airbus insists that the company has no plan to buy out Bombardier's stake in the C-series program and Bombardier would remain a strategic partner after 2025, however clauses allow it to buy out Quebec's share in 2023 and Bombardier's 7 years after the deal closes, though it also stipulates production is required to remain in Quebec until at least 2041.
On June 8, 2018, after regulatory approval, Airbus and Bombardier announced that Airbus will get a majority stake on July 1, 2018. The head office, leadership team and primary final assembly line will stay in Mirabel, with its workforce of 2,200. Bombardier will fund the cash shortfalls if required, up to US$610 million from the second half of 2018 to 2021. The FAL in Mobile will start deliveries in 2020 with a monthly production rate of four, rising to six for a capacity of eight while the main Mirabel FAL can go to ten.

At the 2008 launch of the program, Bombardier forecast 315 annual deliveries from 2008 to 2027 for 100-150 seat airliners, but in the first 10.5 years, the six models available (B737-700, A318/A319, CS100/CS300 and E195) averaged fewer than 80 per year. The aircraft was renamed the A220-100/300 on 10 July 2018 at Airbus' headquarters in Toulouse, ten days after control of the program was handed over to Airbus. Airbus targets over 100 orders in 2018 and 3,000 over 20 years, half of the 100-150 seat market, and needs a supply chain cost reduction over 10%.
