2016-Present Airbus A220 (formerly Bombardier CSeries)
Airbus A220-100/300 (formerly Bombardier CS100/CS300)
2016-Present (In production since 2013, entered service 2016) · Narrow-body Commercial Jet Aircraft
Rarity Score
5/10 - Uncommon; while becoming popular with Delta, JetBlue, and Air France, it is less common than the A320 or 737 families
Spot Difficulty
4/10; easily spotted at major hubs like ATL, JFK, or LHR. Look for the 'raccoon' cockpit window mask and the blue engine liners
Engine & Performance
Engine: Two Pratt & Whitney PW1500G Geared Turbofans; 19,000–25,000 lbf (85–111 kN) thrust per engine; ultra-high bypass ratio (12:1)
Transmission & Drivetrain: Geared Turbofan technology (FDGS - Fan Drive Gear System); Twin-engine underwing configuration
Performance: Cruise Speed: Mach 0.78 (515 mph); Range: 3,450–3,600 nmi; Service Ceiling: 41,000 ft; MTOW: up to 156,000 lbs
Exterior
Clean white aerodynamic cowling with distinctive blue-green intake liner; 18-24 composite fan blades with curved scimitar geometry
Interior Features
2-3 seating configuration (unique for narrow-body), large overhead bins, oversized windows (11x16 in), LED mood lighting, and advanced fly-by-wire controls
Condition Assessment
Excellent; the engine components and cowling show no signs of bird strikes, soot, or structural fatigue
Condition Issues: None visible; fan blades appear pristine with no leading-edge erosion or delamination
Estimated Mileage: N/A (Aircraft measured in flight hours/cycles; typically low for this newer generation jet)
Historical Significance
Originally developed by Bombardier as the CSeries, it was the first clean-sheet narrow-body design in decades, forcing Boeing and Airbus to modernize their fleets
Notable Features
Distinguished by its 'blue ring' inside the engine intake (acoustic liner), geared turbofan technology for 20% better fuel efficiency, and quietest operation in its class
Production Numbers
Approximately 320+ delivered and entered service (out of ~900 orders) as of early 2024
Valuation
Estimated Market Value: $81 million to $91.5 million (List Price)
Auction Estimate: N/A (Typically leased or sold via fleet contracts; second-hand market values approximately $35-50 million)
Maintenance Recommendations
Regular borescope inspections of the PW1500G core, monitoring of the geared fan system, and routine FADEC software updates
Fun Facts
The A220 was saved from bankruptcy by Airbus for the price of $1 CAD; it is the only aircraft in its class that can fit a full-size carry-on in the bins of every row; the 'blue' in the engine is actually a specialized acoustic coating.
