Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very absorbing book about the giant airliners that fly today's skies, covering them from their inception, to the drawing board, last minute changes, technical information, how new ideas and technologies gained ground and their service with the airlines. The chapters are not organised by aircraft but by topic such as Stretching and Shrinking, the Operator's Role in influencing the final design, Safety Measures, Concepts and Hurdles and the Giant Jetliners of the Future. This organisation makes for a much more exciting read on a concentrated topic rather than the more boring Chapter by Aircraft type approach which is more like reading a dictionary. This is how the book "Boeing Jetliners" is organised and although that is also a good book, I prefer this one for that reason. So in the Safety chapter, you get to see how these planes introduced redundancy, early warning systems, the Propulsion Controlled Aircraft system, fatigue testing, design changes and of course, ETOPS. Loads of information for the serious commercial aircraft enthusiast in an immersive documentary that you will find hard to put down.
