They boast a significant reduction in noise, which they hope will help them target urban airports, and lower fuel consumption for the eco-friendly. The canadian airplane maker hopes to challenge a significant dent in the 100-160 seats market for commercial aircrafts. At time of writing, no word yet if it landed safely, but they're hopeful.
