In keeping with original exterior body style of this American icon, the redesign captures the curvature with subtle softening of the contour. The front end design integrity has been protected by keeping the original round headlights inset into the grill. The integrity was also well maintained in providing the same style of tail light to match that of the older counterpart. Another aspect that has held the integrity of the original 1960’s model is performance. The performance of the 6.4 liter 470 horsepower 2010 model still provides the sought after horsepower of 1960’s model. This model also provides maximum acceleration in keeping with the older counterpart. In today’s times, the 2010 provides that same stigma as the older counterpart as the muscle care of this day and…

Ted Richards and Frank Edwards, long-time college friends and Harvard Business School graduates, purchased Airtex Aviation on December 29, 1989. At the time of the purchase, Airtex Aviation, located in Center County, Texas, was finishing up a fiscal year in which they had losses of sales totaling 500,000 dollars and a negative net worth.

Ted and Frank knew little about the aviation industry at all going into the purchase, so they were planning on relying completely on their management skills to achieve their goals.…

It remains clear that Bombardier now faces the challenge of having to carefully assess its strategic direction for the future in order to hold its competitive advantage in regional jet market.…
