Showcasing the high-efficiency next-generation aircraft: Airbus A380-800; Boeing B787 Dreamliner; Bombardier Cseries; Embraer E-Jets, the Legacy and the Phenom 100 and 300; and exciting new passenger-service products for the first, business and economy class.
One hundred years ago - on 17th December 1903 - five people in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, looked on as two brothers changed the course of history: Wilbur and Orville Wright had achieved humankind's first powered, sustained and controlled flight.
Since this event, the marvel of flight has become a reality in even the most remote parts of the world, leading to the creation of the mass-transportation systems that are now regarded as an everyday feature of our modern lifestyle.
The design of commercial aircraft interiors today is an art and a science, involving very particular concerns of comfort, space saving and durability. Jetliner Cabins brings together in a single volume the many different elements which combine to create a satisfying environment for scheduled air travel worldwide - designs, functions, materials, construction, safety, maintenance, overall style and passenger well-being. In addition to the main text and comprehensive illustrations, there are expert comments from more than 40 international specialists in the field, bringing a wide range of aviation knowledge to the table.
This book will interest innumerable readers - from manufacturers, airlines and suppliers to travel agents, marketers and salespeople; from airport managers to caterers, designers, engineers and architects; and not least the millions of passengers who travel each year in these special and typically modern surroundings.
