Jetliner Cabins e-book updated and expanded

Many people in the aircraft interiors sector own a copy of Jetliner Cabins: Evolution & Innovation by Jennifer Coutts Clay, a book that has long been a valuable asset when creating a cabin experience, and an enjoyable resource when looking into cabin design from the 1970s to the present, and onward to the future.

Fans of the book will be pleased to hear that Jennifer Coutts Clay has released an extensively updated version, with new case studies, 16 updated chapters, video clips, insights from more than 50 international specialists, in-depth guest essays, and 20 picture galleries with more than 7,000 images – all focused on the aircraft cabin experience. The interactive e-book has been released by Amazon at the Kindle Store, priced at US$19.99, and is also available on Google Play and the Apple App store.

“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,” said Jennifer Coutts Clay, who knows her subject well, having spent years as a professional in the aviation industry (see below).

The new Kindle e-book is the fourth edition of Jetliner Cabins: Evolution & Innovation. The first edition was a hardback book, published by Academy Press of John Wiley & Sons Inc. in 2004. A subsequent paperback edition followed in 2006, then an e-book app for Apple iPads in 2014. The latter led to the development to further updates and enhancements, and expanded access to the content, combined with new Amazon Kindle technology, for this latest user-friendly edition (it is also accessible on other e-reader devices).

The topics covered in the book are broad, both in terms of subject and chronology, from aircraft cabin design and function, to environmental advances, maintenance and safety regulations, accessibility, post-pandemic cabin-health upgrades – and passenger comfort standards across the first, business, and economy-class cabins, on every commercial aircraft, including Concorde.

Jennifer Coutts Clay has considered points such as how designers decide the shape and style of seats, 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 Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024 (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany on 28th May.

As principal of J. Clay Consulting, Jennifer is a consultant providing technical advice and marketing support to the aviation industry, with a focus on interior and corporate-identity programmes. Jennifer is a pioneer for women in the airline industry, having held senior positions across three continents. At British Airways, Jennifer was the first woman appointed to an operations and sales position as head of a geographical region. Subsequently, she held the position of controller of corporate identity during British Airways’ US$75 million privatisation from government to investor ownership. She directed all aspects of the airline’s visual identity, including the implementation of design programmes for exteriors and interiors of the Concorde and subsonic fleets.

She went on to manage the redesign of major aspects of the Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) fleet as general manager of product design and development. She worked as a consultant to Eastern Airlines, United Express, Atlantic Coast Airlines, and South African Airways. She was also a certified Consultant (#PA-23925) to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

As a noted expert in aircraft interior design, Jennifer is a contributing editor to Aircraft Interiors International magazine and has written for Runway Girl Network. She is a member of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, The Wings Club, and a founding member of the Pan Am Museum Foundation and the Crystal Cabin Awards. Jennifer serves on the Concorde Advisory Committee at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
