The cockpit and all fuselage sections for the Bombardier CSeries first flight test vehicle (FTV1) have arrived at Bombardier’s final assembly line for the CSeries at Mirabel, Québec, and assembly of FTV1 has begun.
Additionally, the first Bombardier CSeries wings are now being mated to the test airframe that will be used during the Complete Airframe Static Test (CAST). Located at the company’s Experimental Test Facility in St-Laurent, Québec, the CAST is designed to demonstrate the static strength of the airframe and show compliance with certification requirements. According to Bombardier Aerospace, testing of the avionics, electrical, flight control, fly-by-wire, hydraulic, landing gear and wiring systems for the CSeries, as well as virtual flights, are also progressing steadily.
he Bombardier CS100 is the first member of the new CSeries airliner family to enter service. The CS100′s planned in-service date is late 2013.
