CSeries speeds towards maiden-sortie milestone

摘要

Bombardier is readying its CSeries twinjet for its maiden sortie, with the final pre-flight tests beginning at the airframer's Mirabel facility. Airport watchers spotted on 1 September the initial flight-test vehicle, FTV-1, performing what appeared to be high-speed taxi trials, although Bombardier later played these down, describing them as "high-speed low-speed tests".
