Flight International's World Aircraft & Systems Directory
Third edition
This directory is said by its publishers to be the World's most comprehensive single- volume aerospace reference work. The World Aircraft & Systems Directory is a unique reference work, which gathers together specifications and details of virtually every type of manned aircraft or flying machine currently in production or under development anywhere in the World, and of their major systems.
The publishers believe that no other single volume available lists the particulars of all these different types of aircraft.
- •
Combat aircraft.
- •
Trainers.
- •
Airliners.
- •
Tankers.
- •
Freighters.

The directory also lists particulars of the engines which power them, the missiles which arm them and the radars which guide them, along with details of the major airport runways from which many of these aircraft will operate.
To get the same breadth and depth of information elsewhere, a buyer would have to purchase several different volumes, at a cost far above the published price of just £95 (including post and packing anywhere in the World) for the World Aircraft & Systems Directory.
Edited by Michael Taylor and published by Flight International, the World Aircraft & Systems Directory contains contributions from an international panel of distinguished experts including Piotr Butowski, Neville Beckett, Geoffrey P Jones, Joachim Ewald, Tim Furniss, Don Parry, Douglas Barrie, Bing Stullon, Robert Hewson and Jim Winchester.
The Third edition runs to over 960 pages of company and product information and data listed by country of manufacture within each product category. This wealth of information is backed up by some 2,000 photographs, line drawings, tables, illustrations and cutaway drawings, many of them previously unpublished. And this unrivalled content is further enhanced by a comprehensive index with full cross-referencing by manufacturer and type.
