What is the maximum take-off weight of A318 from a 1500 m runway at sea level, ISA? 63 t?
But would stretched CSeries also compete with C919?
Is it PW1524G that allows CS100 to take off in 1509 m?
I see that PW1519 has been invented.
If there are only 2 versions of CSeries, which of them shall carry PW1519?
CSeries is also competing against DC-9, MD-80, MD-90 and Boeing 717. While no one is building them new, Boeing is maintaining them, charging for maintenance, and stands to lose if they are replaced by CSeries (or A320, or B737).
CS300ER – wingspan 35,1 m, wing area 112,3 square m. Standard 1 class seating 130; MTOW 63 t 322 kg
MD-87 non-ER – wingspan 32,8 m, wing area also 112,3 square m. Standard 1 class seating 130; MTOW 63 t 503 kg.
Range with the standard 130 seat payload:
CS300ER 5460 km
MD-87 non-ER 4390 km.
How do the other relevant features compare?
Boink?
Boink 737 is this:

There have been some talks about Bombardier BJ. Are there any recent news of progress? Or specifics of such a BJ?
Bombers are making CSeries. Embraer certainly is not going beyond a slight further stretch before 2020 or so.
So, how has the experience been in the 10 years?
Singapore and Jet Airways have followed suit in offering doors. Anyone else?
Lao Central Superjet
Lao Central Superjet is seen in colour:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/picture-lao-centrals-first-painted-superjet-emerges-380934/
93 seats. Since all-cattle maximum is 98 as on Armavia, presumably single class?
But the real reason that on fast long-range airliners the low wing dominates is that it has less drag than a high wing, and more so the faster you fly. And the larger the aircraft, the heavier the high wing option is.
By far, the largest planes have high wings. L-100, An-124, An-225.
How does the empty weight of L-100 compare against, say, 747-100? And how does the cruise drag compare?
Still 160-seater
Despite delays, and rejection by Air Asia:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/bombardier-moves-cs300-into-detailed-design-with-high-density-variant-included-379612/
Who shall be flying 160 seat CS300?
56 new jets and options for another 86.

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/picture-vistajet-makes-history-with-largest-bombardier-business-jet-order-for-up-to-142-global-jets-379488/
firm orders for 25 Global 5000s, 25 Global 6000s and six Global 8000s – currently in development – as well options for 40 Global 5000s, 40 Global 6000s and six Global 8000s
Note absence of any Global 7000.
“Majority” of ground tests completed!

What are the remaining “19,5%”, besides fatigue?
Delayed!
By half a year, so far:

Another delay!
A year or two this time:
