Aeronautical Bombardier is a subsidiary company of the Groupe Bomber. It is the third employer in the field of the aeronautical engineering after Boeing and Airbus. It is the fourth in many terms commercial aircraft produced annually after Boeing, Airbus and Embraer.

History

The aeronautical division of Bomber is created at the time of the purchase of the company Canadair in 1986. This airframe manufacturer, had been founded during the Années 1920 by Vickers for the production of planes of bush. During the Second world war, one produced military aircrafts there in Canada, of which the Canso. The ancestor of the General Dynamics repurchased it after the war and it thrived in the field of the military aircrafts. However, a declining market led the Canadian government to becoming owner of the company during the Années 1970 in order to keep this company of a technologically advanced sector to the Quebec.

Under the new administration, one witnesses a change towards the civil aviation. The airframe manufacturer piled up however a loss record for a Canadian company in spite of the success of sale of the series Challenger 600 because of the Economic recession of the beginning of the Années 1980. The government was to keep it open not to repeat the disaster of the Avro CF-105 Arrow which had already cost very expensive in this field Canada. It was to also make conceal the independence inhabitants of Quebec, always ready to say that the Canadian federal government never helped Quebec. Bomber, a Québécois company, offered the best guaranteed to keep the open company.

Bombardier restored the profitability of Tanker plane. It continues its acquisitions and created for itself the reputation to buy companies in financial problems at low prices and to give them on the right track. Thus Aeronautical Bombardier repurchased Short Brothers in 1989, an airframe manufacturer of Belfast in Northern Ireland practically in Banqueroute. In 1990, it was with the tower of the Learjet Company of Wichita to the Kansas and of its very known jet of business. In 1992, De Havilland Canada, a subsidiary company in lose speed of Boeing, supplements the table.

Production

Aeronautical Bombardier is thus a conglomerate manufacturing various types of planes and aeronautical parts. It builds jets of businesses with very long operating range, jets regional of less than 100 places, planes of turboprop passengers for the short distances and the short tracks, of the water bombers and gets parts and services with the military aviation. The production aircraft C, planned for 2013, will be able to embark to 149 passengers.

The apparatuses Challenger were developed at Canadair and include/understand Challenger 300, Global 5000 or Total Express train and the series of regional jets CRJ. DASH were developed at De Havilland of which the Dash 8 of series Q (for Quiet , English silencer) with particularly quiet turbopropellers for takeoff on very short tracks allowing the use in urban environment. Learjet builds the small ones and average apparatuses of business from which the series Challenger is resulting.

The commercial apparatuses Dash-8 and CRJ have a configuration of the similar seats (2 seats on each side of the central alley), compartments for luggage overhanging them, of the toilets and cuisinettes. These apparatuses are good salesmen by their relatively low costs of purchase and operations like minimal environmental impact. They rendered profitable the service between regional airports and those of major transit what attracted candidates of which Embraer Brésil.

Side of the specialized apparatuses, the water bombers CL-415 replaced CL-215 during the Années 1990. They are larger and general-purpose, are mûs by turbopropellers and have a very complete electronic equipment.

Series C

Bombardier planned a new apparatus from 85 to 120 seats for the CRJ. It was about the project BRJ-X which was abandoned with the profit of CRJ-900, a lengthening in 90 places of the preceding model, and CRJ-1000 of 100 places was announced the February 18th 2006, always based on the same basic model.

Meanwhile, project BRJ-X reappears under the name of project of Série C in July 2004, a very new family of jet from 110 to 149 passengers. With this new apparatus, Bombardier would enter a new crenel of sale, that is to say that occupied by Boeing and Airbus. The company hoped to introduce this new product in 2010 and thus started to probe to go it for potential customers in March 2005. In May 2005, Bombardier obtained an agreement of financing by the governments of Quebec, Canada and the the United Kingdom for this project. The parts would be produced at Canadair of Montreal and Short Brothers of Belfast. The place for the final assembly was not yet given but the company has already installations of the kind close to the International airport Montreal-Mirabel, in the north of Montreal, which were the most probable place.

However, the request materialized as quickly as not envisaged and Bomber delayed at January 2006 the launching of the program. It leaves approximately fifty employees to his promotion and development and moves three hundred worms of other projects of turboprop and jet of business, and estimates of them that the startup will be in 2013.
