You are obviously not up to date with the Prince’s plane (now sold)!

I´m not up to date either. Who bought that A380?

For comparison:
Embraer 190: 92,5 m2
MD-80/90: 112 m2, matching CSeries
MD-90-30ER is known to have reached 76,2 t MTOW in the MD-90-30ER version – but not exceeded 172 seats.

Anyway, all 5 CS100 prototypes are flying now.
The range allegedly exceeds expectation, and shall be disclosed in Paris.
Is FTV5 in condition to undertake a nonstop flight Mirabel to Le Bourget in June?

CS300 first prototype flew for 5 hours on maiden flight, circling near airport, but climbing to FL410 and accelerating to 500 knots.

How many CSeries prototypes are left on ground? By my count, last (5th) CS100 and last (2nd) CS300. Correct?

The engine oil issue has been repaired and CSeries resumed flying after 100 days on ground:

It is said that the second CS100 prototype is due for maiden flight in about a month.
When are the prototypes needed at a specific time?

It flew in more than three months:

The A318s were flown by British Airways in an all business-class configuration from London City Airport to New York JFK, if my memory serves me correctly. The flight numbers are the old Concorde flight numbers: BA001 etc. They were intended for wealthy business people who needed to fly out of LCY to New York on a frequent basis.

But they do not get in Concorde Room.

You’re right that the A318 is a small aircraft on which to cross the Atlantic.

It is Concorde that is a small aircraft:
http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-France/Aerospatiale-British-Aerospace-Concorde/2310556/L
Concorde was designed for midgets, preferably midgets without any hand-luggage. There were surprisingly few complaints about the poor headroom and tiny seats because the overpaid employees whose tickets were being paid for by their companies didn’t want to lose face in front of the economy class tourists who had twice the room on a 747 for a tenth of the price.
A318 is huge:
http://www.airliners.net/photo/British-Airways/Airbus-A318-112/1748083/L
even bigger than 747 cabin:

Also, how strong are the runway and ramps of Bromma?

Other prototypes

Out of the 5 CS100 prototypes, 1 has flown, but 2 more have engines:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/pw-delivers-eight-cseries-engines-so-far-390594/
Pratt and Whitney has also delivered fourth pair of PW1500 engines, which is awaiting installation on a CS100 prototype.

It is said that the second CS100 prototype is due for maiden flight in about a month.
When are the prototypes needed at a specific time?

That would be somewhat complicated. DC-9 was stretched, but only to 187 seats of MD-90. To match the 280 seats of A310 and therefore also B757-300, the 5 abreast cabin of CSeries needs to be stretched rather longer than the 6 abreast B757-300. Not that it is impossible, Lockheed 2000-7 does have 273 seats in its cabin that also is 5 abreast, but is it worth the weight at subsonic Mach numbers?

It/she flies. Rotation was about 10 minutes ago, 5…6 minutes before the expected time 10:00 EDT.
