Jetliner Cabins Book

One hundred years ago â?? on 17th December 1903 â?? five people in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina looked on as two brothers changed the course of history: Wilbur and Orville Wright had achieved humankindâ??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.

This book will interest innumerable readers â?? 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.Read More
