The Bombardier's innovative designs, for example V220 and V300T engines are far superior in durability, quality and reliability as their features result in the elimination of shock, and allow smoother operation, as well as offering easier maintenance than current aviation piston power plants (Dyck, Buckland, Harder, & Wiensee, 2000). Their MoGas capability, use of propeller speed reduction units, and mufflers also ensure that the Bombardier V220 and V300T can meet the future competitive challenges of the business.
