JETLINER CABINS: Evolution & Innovation by Jennifer Coutts Clay, extensively updated.....

JETLINER CABINS: Evolution & Innovation by Jennifer Coutts Clay, the foremost authority on aircraft interiors and the only resource of its kind, has been extensively updated and newly released by Amazon at the Kindle Store. The interactive E-BOOK, priced at $19.99, features case studies, video clips, and 20 picture galleries with more than 7,000 images and 16 updated chapters. Additionally, there are core insights from more than 50 international specialists and in-depth guest essays.

The E-BOOK covers everything flyers ever wanted to know about creating the cabin experience. ‘We are proud to provide this enhanced Edition of the ultimate resource for aviation professionals, aircraft enthusiasts, interior designers, architects, and people who simply love to travel by air,’ noted Jennifer Coutts Clay who herself has spent years as a professional in the aviation industry.

The new Kindle E-BOOK is the Fourth Edition of JETLINER CABINS: Evolution & Innovation with material that builds on the prestige of the original Hardback Edition first published by Academy Press of John Wiley & Sons Inc. in 2004. A subsequent Paperback Edition (2006) and an E-BOOK app for Apple iPad (2014) followed and led to further updates and enhancements, combined with new Amazon Kindle technology, for this latest user-friendly Edition. Readers have expanded access to the content, now available on a wider range of platforms including Kindle and E-reader devices.

JETLINER CABINS: Evolution & Innovation chronicles interiors from the 1970s to the present and onward to the future. The legendary Boeing 747 and the supersonic Concorde are among the jetliners covered in detail. Topics include jetliner cabin design and function; environmental ‘green’ advances, maintenance and safety regulations; accessibility; post-pandemic cabin-health upgrades; and passenger comfort standards in the First, Business, and Economy-class cabins and Concorde. How do they decide the shape and style of the seat, the legroom, the cushioning, the drop-down table, and look and feel of the interior while keeping in mind passenger health and safety and the demands of the flying environment? There are many challenges faced in the layout of such a tight space, and the solutions and design ideas surprise at every turn.

Jennifer Coutts Clay will discuss these topics as Moderator of the Cabin Refurbishment session in the Cabin Space Live programme at the annual Aircraft Interiors EXPO (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany on 28 May 2024.
