When it comes to very highly complex, commercially funded product-development projects it is not sufficient to apply standard project management techniques to manage and keep them under control. Instead, they need a project management approach which is perfectly adapted to their complex nature. This, however, may generate additional cost and a dilemma arises because in commercially-driven product developments there is the natural tendency to limit the management-related costs. The development of a new commercial aircraft is no exception. In fact, it can be regarded as an extreme example of this kind of project. This is why it is especially useful to analyse the project management capabilities and practices needed to manage them. Cost reductions can still be achieved by concentrating on the essential elements of some project management disciplines, to maintain their principal strengths, and combining them in a pragmatic way on the basis of an integrated architecture. This book goes beyond descriptions of management disciplines found elsewhere in its treatment of the architecture integration necessary to interlink product, process and resources data. Only with this connectedness can the interoperation of the management essentials yield maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Commercial Aircraft Projects: Managing the Development of Highly Complex Products proposes an integrated architecture and details, step-by-step, how it can be used for the management of commercial aircraft development projects. The findings can also be applied to other industrial sectors that produce complex hardware based on design inputs.

This book is aimed at that ever-growing marketplace. It will appeal both to aviation enthuisasts and those who have a more general interest in the subject. The book provides exactly what it says on the box: 1000 photographs of civil airliners of all types, large and small, photographed all over the world in recent years, in a multiplicity of markings. Each picture is accompanied by a detailed caption with information about the type of airliner shown, the individual aircraft portrayed, the airline which flies it, and the location where the photograph was taken. The result is a wide-ranging and comprehensive guide to world civil aviation today. The photographs reflect the ever-changing liveries employed by the airlines for image and marketing purposes, and the many and varied types of aircraft seen in the book's pages range from the latest types and variants of well-known jet liners to ancient propliners which are still in service in some parts of the world, but consigned to aviation museums in others.
