From wikipedia, in case anyone else was also wondering who he is:
> Charles Bombardier (born 1974) is a Canadian engineer, innovator and angel investor. who creates vehicle concepts and shares them openly with the world with his non profit Imaginactive.org.
> Bombardier's grandfather was Joseph-Armand Bombardier, founder of Bombardier Inc. and Bombardier Recreational Products and inventor of the snowmobile.
...so, the rich grandson of a business founder who designs airplanes for fun. Not sure how seriously we can take his "designs".
- CPLX 10y agoYou're oddly leaving out the fact that Bombardier is a renowned Fortune 500 company, and a major manufacturer of airplanes.
- detaro 10y agoHe worked there for a few years on ground vehicles and then left, years before he started publishing these, there is no indication Bombardier the company has been involved with his designs in any way.
- yongjik 10y agoSorry, I thought most people knew Bombardier the airplane maker, but maybe I should have kept that info. In any case, Bombardier (the company) and Charles Bombardier don't seem to be in any business relationship...?
- Theodores 10y agoNext up, the BBC report on how Barron Trump wants to build a 10 mile high luxury office tower block, in gold. It does amaze me that the BBC report on these stories without providing the helpful information provided by you, do they think their audience only know Boeing and Airbus? Why do the brain farts of the 1% get an airing?
