Admin a écrit:Le problème c'est que finalement BBD n'a pas protégé son marché "historique", quelle avantage à avoir une flotte mixte CRJ/Cseries ? vs E-jet G1 ou mix G1-G2 ?

BBD s'est lancé sur marché neuf sans protéger son marché d'origine par des améliorations substantielles de ces modèles historiques.

Signs of trouble have been evident for some time in the Learjet 85 program, which Bombardier launched in 2007. The company struggled to perfect the manufacturing of the mostly carbon-fiber-composite design. It built them at a facility in Querétaro, Mexico facility that sits 6,000 feet above sea level, an altitude that made it hard to produce enough pressure to force air bubbles out from under the carbon fibers, leaving some material weaker than desired.

Around 2012, according to Mr. Beaudoin, Bombardier abandoned its initial design for the jet’s body, opting for a more traditional carbon-fiber construction that required more reinforcement. But the manufacturing snags meant Bombardier had to delay the plane’s first flight to April 2014, flying with the original design, well after the aircraft was originally scheduled to be delivered. The new design never flew.

Before joining Pratt & Whitney Canada, Bellemare spent more than 12 years in a variety of engineering and manufacturing positions with Kraft Canada and Crown Cork & Seal Canada. He earned an MBA from McGill University in 1993 and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Sherbrooke in 1984. He specialized in aeronautical engineering at Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Ingenieurs en Construction Aeronautique (ENSICA) in Toulouse, France. In 2007, Bellemare received the prestigious Flight magazine Publisher's Award in recognition of his leadership in propelling Pratt & Whitney Canada to a position of great strength around the world, and for his contribution to aerospace. That same year, he was awarded an Exceptional Recognition from the Mouvement Quebecois de la Qualite and the Quebec Government for his outstanding contribution to the advancement of quality. In 2006, he received the McGill Management Achievement Award for his community involvement and contributions to the Canadian economy.
