SynopsisBoeing and Airbus may dominate today's commercial aircraft market, but there are dozens of smaller manufacturers producing excellent airplanes to service short- and medium-distance routes. Dozens of these commercial aircraft--from the immortal Douglas DC-3 to the unrivaled Boeing 747--are covered here, along with business jets, leisure aircraft, and police and firefighting aircraft from around the world. 600 color and archival black-and-white photographs are included., Civil Aircraft is a fascinating and informative guide to more than 120 of the most important civil aircraft ever produced. Its information-packed pages cover a wide range of passenger and utility aircraft, from early airliners such as the de Havilland Comet, Lockheed Constellation, and Junkers Ju 52 to today's passenger aircraft, including the Concorde, the Boeing 747, and the Airbus A300 series. The book also includes business jets and leisure aircraft from around the world. Each aircraft is covered in detail, with feature boxes outlining its development, technical specifications, performance data, and variants. Unique graphics allow you to compare specific features like passenger capacity and payload to those of other aircraft of the same type. With a wealth of essential information on every page, Civil Aircraft is a must for aircraft lovers of all ages.
