The first set of systems tests and simulations for the all-new, technologically advanced Bombardier CSeries aircraft, including those on the engine and electrical system, have started in its systems integration rig known as "Aircraft 0"* -- known also as the Complete Integrated Aircraft Systems Test Area (CIASTA). Test data are confirming that the aircraft development program is on track to reach key performance targets as the drive towards Entry-Into-Service (EIS) in late 2013 continues. These major program milestones signal that Bombardier and its suppliers are making significant progress in the development of the CSeries aircraft.
