Bombardier Commercial Aircraft has confirmed to ANN that the CSeries aircraft resumed flight testing with flight test vehicle number two taking flight Sunday at Bombardier's facility in Mirabel, Quebec.
The flight follows an in-depth review and analysis of the engine-related incident that occurred during stationary ground maintenance testing involving CSeries flight test aircraft number 1 on May 29. The investigation into the crash of a Reno air racer continues. It is confirmed that the airplane in question was the experimental Sport class GP5 racer named, Sweet Dreams, owned and piloted by Lee Behel. It has been reported by several sources that the aircraft appeared to break up in-flight and that Behel did not survive the crash. The FAA has selected four unleaded fuels for the first phase of testing in its search for a drop-in replacement for 100-Low-Lead avgas. The testing will be done at the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center. The goal is for government and industry to work together to have a new unleaded fuel that reduces lead emissions for general aviation.
