Bombardier has been criticised in Canada and abroad over the subsidies it receives from various levels of government. They have been described as corporate welfare and accused of violating free trade agreements, especially by Brazil. Canada and Bombardier have countered by citing Brazil's direct and indirect subsidies to Embraer, its own major aircraft manufacturer and one of Bombardier's principa ...

Advanced Rapid Transit or ART is the current name given to a metro system manufactured by Bombardier Transportation; it was originally named ICTS (for ‘Intermediate Capacity Transit System’), and is sometimes referred to generically as ‘advanced light rapid transit’. It is used by metro lines in Vancouver, Toronto, Detroit, New York, and Kuala Lumpur. A future system in Yongin, near Seoul, South Korea is to use the technology as well. It was proposed for Bangkok, Thailand’s Skytrain, but dropped in favour of st ...

Talent refers to a special aptitude, faculty or gift of a person. The word comes from the Greek word "Τάλαντο" meaning balance or weight, and acquired its meaning of a gift or aptitude by way of Jesus's parable of the talents. A Talent (weight) is also an ancient unit of coinage, equal to around 60 minae, or 6000 denarii. Talent is also a television industry term for anyone appearing on-camera. The Talent (train) is a model of train manufactured by Bombardier, used by mainline railways in G

The Class 222 Meridian is a diesel-electric multiple unit high-speed train, which the English train operating company Midland Mainline put in service on certain routes in 2004 as a replacement for its Turbostars. The Meridian, capable of 200 km/h, is much faster than the Turbostars, and reported to be more comfortable for passengers as well. The Meridian, manufactured by Bombardier Transportation, is similar ...

Bombardier Transportation was founded in 1974 and started manufacturing rolling stock with a contract from the Société de transport de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal to build metro trains for the Montréal Métro. The core of the Transportation group was formed with the purchase of Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) in 1975. The group also purchased Hawker Siddeley Canada. MLW was later sold to General Electric in 1988. Bombardier produced the LRC (L ...

As of 2005 two models have been announced: the 110-seat CSeries and the 130-seat CSeries. The CSeries is larger than the current Canadair Regional Jets, and replaces the cancelled BRJX project and a similar project by the Shorts Manufactueing Company of Belfast, Northeren Ireland. The CSeries will use proven systems, materials and leading-edge technology, optimized for the lower end of the 90- to 149-seat market. The aircraft are designed to seat passengers in a 3 by 2 arrangement in coach and a 2 by 2 arrangement in business/f ...

Bombardier builds business jets, short-range airliners and fire-fighting amphibious aircraft and also provides defence-related services. Some of their aircraft designs originated in the design departments of Canadair or de Havilland Aircraft of Canada. The company has been adept at developing quiet turboprop airliners capable of using urban airports with relatively short runways and steep glide slopes. Current production aircraft models include, The Learjet family of aircraft, the Challenger 300, Challenger 605, Global 5000, Global Ex ...

Bombardier (Bdr) and Lance Bombardier (LBdr or L/Bdr) are British Army ranks used in the Royal Artillery and Royal Horse Artillery instead of (respectively) Corporal and Lance Corporal. Originally, the Royal Artillery had Corporals (but not Lance Corporals) and a Bombardier was junior to them and wore a single chevron. Unlike a Lance Corporal, a Bombardier was a full non-commissioned officer and not an acting appointment. It was equivalent to the rank of Second Corporal in the Royal Engineers and Army Ordnance Corps. In 1920, Corporals were abolished in the Royal Artillery and Bombardiers became th ...

The aircraft was an independent design by Lear in 1976, who had resigned as Chairman of Lear Jet seven years previously. Originally dubbed the LearStar 600, Lear sold exclusive rights to produce and develop the design to Canadair, who renamed it the CL-600 Challenger. While similar in general configuration to Lear's previous designs, notable changes were made that distinguished the new airplane from the Learjets, including the use of a widened fuselage that allowed a ‘walk-about cabin’, a featu ...

In 1975 the emerging Quebec-based industrial conglomerate Bombardier purchased a majority stake in MLW-Worthington. Under Bombardier, "MLW" continued to provide innovative locomotive design into the early 1980s, and also benefited from its geographic location and political realities, given that it was an important employer in Montreal. During the 1970s, Bombardier began to enter the railway passenger car business with domestic orders for commuter and subway systems. In 1980 MLW became responsible for manufacturing a series of high-speed dies ...

Bombardier beetles have come to public attention in recent years largely because of arguments put forward by creationists, particularly in the children's book Bomby the Bombardier Beetle. The book argues that the beetles' internal design is an example of irreducible complexity, because various components needed to make the system work appear to provide no benefit in themselves, meaning the entire system would have to be created at once. This indicates, ...

The present system uses three diesel-powered Bombardier Talent BR643 low-floor diesel multiple unit trains. It is legally considered a mainline railway despite being used for local public transport purposes, and the service it provides at present is, in terms of its route and service frequency, more like that of an urban railway than a metro or tramway. OC Transpo operates it under the official name of ‘Capital Railway’, which appears on the trains along with their regular logo. It is, however, described as ‘light rail’, partly becau ...
