REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

Jetliner Cabin: An Evolution of the Passenger's Experience.
Since my first flight when I was five years old, airplanes have fascinated me. It is always so intriguing to contemplate the evolution of the designs and the efficiency elements throughout these five decades. Civil aviation has become more democratic over the years. More people have access to this means of transport every day, previously reserved only for the elites.
Nowadays, walking inside an airplane, we can almost feel we are entering a 'flying house".
The innovations in engineering and aviation do not limit themselves to new designs, performance, or efficiency but primed by the esthetic element. This app-eBook shows an incredible volume of useful information about efficiency, Luxury (comfort), Privacy, and Flexibility.
The quality of the imagery, and the information contained here are excellent. I truly recommend it.

Interesting!
I never put thought into airline cabins and how they were actually built, so this was really cool. The photographs were my favorite part about this ebook.

Excellent insight into the world of commercial aviation
Jennifer Clay, an airline industry insider, with a vast amount of experience in airliner interior design, has recently updated her book. This book is an amazingly interesting resource covering the past (Concorde, Eastern, Braniff, Pan Am, etc.), the present (a comprehensive survey of U.S. and international airlines), and the future (Airbus A380, Boeing B787 Dreamliner, Bombardier C-Series, and the new category of Embraer Very Light Jets). You'll read about everything from safety, seat design, and fabric selection to meal service, accessibility and maintenance in first-, business- and economy-class cabins. It also has really cool cabin layout diagrams.
Attention all you airline geeks: this one's for you. This is the perfect gift for that travel aficionado in your life.

Interesting!
Something I would have never thought of without this book: how aesthetics and functionalism comes to be perfectly balanced into the commercial aviation industry. Interesting!

The 'bible' on cabin design.
Everything you can possibly want to know about cabin interiors, presented in a well designed and highly illustrated volume. Jennifer Coutts Clay provides an in-depth and comprehensive study of cabin design in civil aviation, from its beginnings to nowadays, including a cursory look at the A380, the B787 and the new Embraers. 40 experts have assisted the author with this task. It certainly shows!

Extremely well-illustrated and well-written reference
... Jetliner Cabins is a fascinating look at the history of interior cabins. The books 16 chapters are extremely well-researched and provide a comprehensive look at cabin interiors from the early days of flight, to current cabins such as the A380 and B787. Short of actual architectural specifications, the book provides the reader with everything they need to know.
There is a lot that goes into the cabin and the book points out all of the details. From product branding, the passenger experience, to maintenance, marketing and more. The author astutely notes that airline financial people are often myopic to the passenger experience, and will often favor a smaller seat pitch, much to the chagrin of the passenger. ... Jetliner Cabins provides a fascinating and interesting insiders look into the art and science of cabin interiors. It is a well-illustrated and well-written guide to one of the more important, yet overlooked subjects of commercial aviation. The author is clearly an expert in the field which is shown in the attention to details the book provides.

The perfect companion to aviation interior design
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 of chapters 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.
