Review of Jetliner Cabins (Paperback)

There are surprisingly few large scale, codified books on interior design for the aviation industry.Every once in a while a book tries to bridge the gap between a coffee table, photographic essay of airplane interiors and a true guide for aviation interior design.Going even further than the previous edition in the number ofchapters and photographs, Jetliner Cabins is the most up-to-date book currently available.

This updated edition contains a thorough explanation of cabin interiors, from discussions on the history of aviation and passenger experience, defining brands, new trends in design, cabin maintenance and marketing.Of special note is a subchapter on the future of commercial airliners and airplane design, including wonderful pictures of the energy efficient and sleek Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the cavernous Airbus A380-800, the multifunctional Bombardier CSeries and the scalable Embraer Jets.These planes may compete against each other on very different merits, but they thrust aviation into the next phase of flight history.It is wonderful to read and see so much about these planes.

Through well-written analysis, comparisons, diagrams, photographs, and indexes, Jetliner Cabins will delight both industrial designer and amateur enthusiast.

Product Description
An essential source of practical information for architects who need to create brilliance and flair within an incredibly disciplined design scenario

This is a visual and fascinatingbook thatfocuses on the interior designs of aircraft cabins and how the many challenges faced in the layout of such a tight space can be met with flair and brilliance. It is a design context in whichthe tiniest detail can change a myriad of aspects.

Interior designers continuously express their creative skills through such designs and many of the techniques that are used in building interiors are repeated in aircraft cabins, and vice versa.

Jetliner Cabins is introduced by an overview of recentcabin design history and the book goes on to show, in a wealth of colour and black and white photographs, interiors from airlines around the world; great and small, historically significant and modern, lavish and minimal.It alsoprovides examples past and present,of airline branding, from colours and identity, to theultimate airline dining experience.

This isabook to be enjoyed by interior designers, architects and the general flying public who are interested in jetliners.
