Thanks addasih! From the footage: -FTV1 keeps with flight testings in Wichita, everything doing well -FTV3 will roll out this coming week -FTV3 will later on fly to Wichita as well for avionics testings -the pilots love flying the aircraft and love the flightdeck (I wouldn't imagine them saying the opposite...) -FTV4 (performance aircraft) is now powered on -FTV5 will be the first 'interiored aircraft' and the interior will be installed in the coming month -the first CS300 already completed Body Join, and will enter the flight testings later this year -some aircraft should travel to various airports around the world, for tests Fabien

I do not believe the amount of seats is that important - important is considerably more "real estate" to exploit. Meant for VIP purposes.....

There is no doubt about it - all the VIP planes have larger tanks - do not carry baggage + CARGO, less people - less weight.... so significantly longer range. Look at 737-700BBJ - it can make well over 9000 km, the same valid for A319CJ

What is the payload where CS300-s tanks get full at MTOW?
