Widebody Jets reissue 2022

Widebody Jets (reissue 2022)

Since their introduction in the 1970s, widebody aircraft have become the workhorse of long-haul travel.

From the original Boeing 747 through to the Airbus A380, these twin-aisle aircraft have had a profound effect on aviation from opening up new travel corridors for many, aiding economic growth and the transportation of time-sensitive goods, to changing the design of airports with their need for larger hangars and passenger bridges.

This edition of Widebody Jets is an updated version of the popular 2022 publication, covering the history of these aircraft types, the many variants, the competition between Airbus and Boeing and potential new manufacturers.
