Bombardier's all new CS100 aircraft successfully completes all noise performance testing

Bombardier announced that its all-new CS100 aircraft has successfully completed all noise performance testing and preliminary data confirms it is the quietest in-production commercial jet in its class. The aircraft’s noise performance and its outstanding short-field capability make it ideal for city centre operations. The first production CS100 aircraft will soon commence function and reliability testing, signaling the start of the final flight testing phase. For these tests, the aircraft will operate on a commercial airline type of schedule from key airports in North America. The announcement was made on the occasion of a CS100 flight demonstration at Bombardier’s Toronto site where the aircraft performed for employees, local government representatives, business leaders, media and Toronto-based C Series customer and long-time Q400 operator, Porter Airlines. The demonstration aircraft, flight test vehicle five (FTV5), was painted in the livery of launch operator SWISS.
