Civil Aircraft is a comprehensive guide to the world's passenger and utility aircraft, from the beginning of heavier-than-air flight with the Wright brothers, to today's multipurpose helicopters, business jets and ultra-reliable wide-body airliners. Densely packed with information, this book covers an array of civilian designs, from barnstorming biplanes, through interwar seaplanes and classic airlines such as the DC-3 and Comet, to stalwarts of the world's skies including the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380. Each aircraft is covered in detail, with feature boxes outlining its development, technical specifications, performance data, and variants. Unique graphics allow the reader to compare specific features like capacity and range to those of other aircraft of the same type.
