Embraer Calls C Series A "110-seater"...Funny how C Series means so many thing to different people.
While that recent article copied to the board by TC calls
C Series simply a "150-seater", that recent company presentation from Embraer (lotta interesting charts and projections) calls C Series a 110-seat aircraft. Here's a copy and past of that page, comparing
C Series with Embraer's E-195. This page is found near the end of the presentation. (see link at the end of my last post) . While it can be interesting to hear Embraer describe
C Series - and in such flattering tone - you can rest assured Bombardier would take exception to many of these points:
?? 4,500 kg heavier than E195
?? Higher DOC than E195
?? Risk associated with new engine technology (GTF)
?? Implications for CS100
?? perceived as heavy and inneficient
?? Momentum after Republic
?? CS 150-seater derivative
?? Competition vs. A320/737-800
