Reporter talked to Mr. Michael Cutler, chief project engineer of Curtiss-Wright, who said the Model 2500 on view is a 4-passenger job, is just going into production & will sell for $15,000.
They are also putting out a 2-passenger model, the Bee, which will sell for $6,000.
The 777 will come in two models, one seating 350 passengers, and another seating 406 people.
Gray Line operates 22 older-model 68-passenger double-deckers for tours of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Results from this model are presented for a single-axle vehicle model and a British Mark 3 passenger coach running on different tracks (a 'lighter ballasted track', a 'heavier ballasted track' and a slab track) at different speeds (25, 60 and 83 m/s).
Until now Bombardier has specialised in 50-100-seater regional and business jets.Bombardier's boss, Paul Tellier, has hired a Boeing executive who worked on the 737, the world's most successful plane, to lead a project to develop a new Bombardier model carrying up to 130 passengers, competing head-on with 737s and Airbus A320s.
Even so, it was stretched over time with later models seating up to 189 passengers.
Between these are models that may carry 8 passenger and fly as many as 7,000 miles (11,000 km).
Each vehicle in a train is modeled with 27 degrees-of-freedom for a 4-axle passenger coach or freight car, and 31 for a 6-axle locomotive.
No doubt Boeing and Airbus have been pointing this out to customers, as well as offering attractive prices to deter airlines from taking a punt on the CSeries.Both are bound to worry that Bombardier will add a larger model carrying up to 200 passengers.
