Evolution of the Airliner by Ray Whitford

Commercial air travel has come a long way since the first purpose-built airliners took to the sky soon after the First World War. Countless innovations have enabled aircraft to fly higher, faster and more efficiently, and flights have become more comfortable and cheaper.
Ray Whitford is a chartered engineer and has been Senior Lecturer in Aerodynamics and Aircraft Design with Cranfield University at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom for twenty years. He won the Rolls-Royce Award for Best Propulsion Submission in the Royal Aeronautical Society's 1997 'Aerospace Journalist of the Year Awards' and a similar prize in 2005 for Best Technology Submission. He is the author of over sixty papers and articles on aircraft design.
