[UPDATE #3]Â Hello “whisper jet” – a title given by Porter’s CEO.
[UPDATE #2] What started out as a dark and rainy morning in Montreal this morning turned into a glorious day with blue skies as a cold front cleared Mirabel airport early this morning, enabling the first flight of the CSeries aircraft. FTV1, a CS100, took to the skies this morning to a crowd of more than 3,000 in attendance at Mirabel airport, the production site for the aircraft north of Montreal.
[UPDATE #1 – track the flight live here.  The CS100 will be known as CS10 in GDS systems]
We will be offering reports later in the day from the event. Here we see the CSeries take to the sky for the first time.
Reaction to this takeoff appears universal – everyone has remarked at how quiet the airplane is.
