Bombardier was once the world's third-largest civilian aircraft manufacturer, behind Boeing and Airbus. Although Bombardier sold all its passenger aircraft business around 2020 due to debt pressure and is currently transforming into a pure business jet manufacturer, it has left behind three major families in the history of civil aviation, especially ushering in the golden age of global "regional aviation".

The main types of passenger aircraft Bombardier once owned were:

CRJ series: the originator of regional jet aircraft

CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) is Bombardier's most successful passenger aircraft series, improved from its "Challenger" business jets. It is characterized by a rear engine, T-shaped tail, and a slender fuselage, making it very suitable for short and medium-distance routes.

CRJ-100/200 (50-seat class): This is the prototype of the series and set the standard for modern regional airliners. Due to its long range and speed, it allows airlines to avoid busy hub airports and open "point-to-point" routes to small cities.

CRJ-700/900/1000 (70-100-seat class): In response to competition, Bombardier launched an extended version. Among them, CRJ-900 is very popular around the world, and some Chinese airlines have also operated it in large quantities.

Bombardier's CRJ series projects were officially sold to Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Mitsubishi) in 2020. It has stopped producing new machines and only provides after-sales support.

 

Q Series (Dash 8): King of quiet turboprops

If you see an aircraft on a regional route with wings on its back (one wing above it) and a propeller with four or six blades, it's probably the Q Series. The main models are Q100, Q200, Q300 and the most famous Q400 . "Q" stands for Quiet . Bombardier installed an active noise suppression system in the cabin to solve the pain point of loud noise in turboprop aircraft.

Q100(Dash8-100)

The Q400 is the flagship of this series. It is extremely fast (close to a jet), has low fuel consumption and strong take-off and landing performance, making it ideal for plateau or short-runway airports.

The Q series has now been sold to De Havilland Canada and has restored its original name Dash 8.

 

Series C: Challenge the Giant's "Legacy"

This is Bombardier's "hard work" of huge research and development, aiming to break the monopoly of the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. It is currently one of the most advanced narrow-body passenger aircraft in the world. It uses a large amount of carbon fiber composite materials and is extremely fuel-efficient. The research and development models include CS100 (110 seats) and CS300 (135 seats). The project was acquired by Airbus in 2018 because Bombardier was in financial crisis due to high R&D costs. Now renamed Airbus A220-100 and A220-300 . Now, with the support of Airbus, this model is selling very well around the world
