Throughout its first hundred years the technology of aerospace has moved ahead every single day. This updated edition of the popular book by aviation expert Bill Gunston examines all of the recent developments, such as Boeing's announcement to abandon plans for a stretched 747, to cut back on future development of the 767, and to develop a possible future passenger aircraft called the Sonic Cruiser.
