In addition, the CSeries are on track to meet noise performance targets, making them the quietest commercial jets in production.
The CSeries aircraft's maximum range has been confirmed to be up to 3,300 NM (6,112 km), some 350 NM (648 km) more than originally targeted. The aircraft is delivering more than a 20% fuel burn advantage compared to in-production aircraft, and a greater than 10% advantage compared to re-engined aircraft.
"The CSeries performance is better than advertised – while offering a best-in-class cabin, and carrying up to 15 passengers more than initially promised. This will provide increased profitability and market access for operators, along with convenience and comfort for passengers," said Fred Cromer, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft.
With unmatched environmental and noise footprints, the CSeries aircraft's community noise level is up to 20 EPNdB* below the Federal Aviation Authority's Stage 4 limit, making it ideal for city centre operations.
Bombardier claims the all-new design will offer operators potential savings of between US$ 7.5 to 12 million per aircraft.
The CS100 and the stretched CS300 aircraft have over 95% parts commonality, as well as the same type rating. The groundbreaking Pratt &Whitney PurePower® PW1500G geared turbofan engine, combined with advanced aerodynamics, delivers reduced fuel burn, noise and emissions, increasing the aircraft’s environmental and social compatibility.
By focusing on the 100- to 150-seat market segment, Bombardier has designed the CSeries to deliver unparalleled economic advantage to operators.
Bombardier has booked orders and commitments for 603 CSeries, which include firm orders for 243.
The CS100 is scheduled to achieve certification later this year and enter service with Swiss Airline in early 2016.
