	The '''Canadair CL-415''' (~~also~~ '''Bombardier 415''') and the '''De Havilland Canada DHC-515''' are a series of [[amphibious aircraft]] built originally by [[Canadair]] and subsequently by [[Bombardier Aviation\|Bombardier]] and [[De Havilland Canada]].

	Development of the CL-415 began in the early 1990s, shortly after the success of the CL-215T retrofit programme had proven a viable demand for a [[turboprop]]-powered model of the original CL-215. Entering production in 2003, in addition to its new engines, the aircraft featured numerous modernisation efforts and advances over the CL-215, particularly in terms of its cockpit and [[aerodynamics]], to yield improved performance.
