Jetliner interiors survey launched as an app

Based on Jennifer Coutts Clay's book 'Jetliner Cabins: Evolution & Innovation' originally published in 2003, this first and only comprehensive survey of jetliner cabin interiors has been digitally formatted as an app for smartphones and tablets.

It might not be a routine topic of conversation but airline interiors, like everything else, have changed over the years. All those who have noticed the metamorphosis plus anyone who is interested in the history, evolution and development of aircraft cabin interiors will find a wealth of information within Jetliner Cabins: Evolution & Innovation by airline consultant Jennifer Coutts Clay.

Coutts Clay explains that in addition to redesigning and updating the book’s 16 core chapters, she added new material to the app, including “green” cabin innovations, classic airline case studies, hyperlinks to more than four hundred organisations and more than six thousand all-color images arranged in a sequence of picture galleries. The app also delves into the topics of product branding, passenger experience, maintenance, and marketing.

Designed for aviation professionals, industry watchers, airline passengers, design aficionados and other interested readers, this pioneering work features insights from leading international experts in the field.

Coutts Clay commented: “The civil-aviation sector is amazing: there is so much to write about! Because of Internet capability, I can keep adding new material to my app. This subject will never end."
