Operational Context
Bombardier CS300 — modern narrow-body twinjet
The CS300 first flew in 2015 and entered service in 2016. It features a clean-sheet design with advanced aerodynamics and composite materials. The aircraft offers a wider cabin cross-section than many competitors in its class.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engines producing approximately 23,000 pounds of thrust (102 kN) each, the CS300 cruises at around 470 knots (870 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 149,000 pounds (67,600 kg). Seating typically ranges from 130 to 150 passengers.
The CS300 achieved strong market acceptance and was later integrated into Airbus as the A220-300. Its efficiency and passenger experience have made it popular on regional and medium-haul routes. The aircraft represents a significant evolution in single-aisle jet design.
