Description
The jet-powered airliner ushered in the era of large-scale passenger air travel at the end of the 1950s. Today, the aircraft produced by manufacturers such as Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus and Ilyushin carry millions of passengers around the globe each year.
The Modern Civil Aircraft Guide is a collection of over 50 of the most important civil transport aircraft of recent times: jet-powered craft and turboprops, including the executive jets of business aviation, as built by Cessna, Learjet and Gulfstream.
With its detailed full-colour illustrations, The Modern Civil Aircraft Guide gives the reader a clear picture of the development of modern civil transport aircraft, when aircraft such as the Aérospatiale Caravelle and Douglas DC-8 revolutionised civilian air travel. Each aircraft featured is accompanied by a full specifications table giving dimensions, performance and powerplant, with all weights and measures in both imperial and metric.
All the aircraft included in The Modern Civil Aircraft Guide are represented by superb three-view colour artworks, which bring the individual aircraft to life. Arranged chronologically, the book allows the reader to trace the development of the modern civil aircraft, from the sleek lines of the Boeing 727 and Ilyushin Il-62 to the massive proportions of the Boeing 747 and Airbus A340.
