This is the thoroughly revised and up to date third edition of the only biennial reference book on the world's civil aircraft. It describes 388 individual aircraft types currently in service or under development worldwide and features a fleet inventory of the world's major airlines.

Like the preceding Civil Aircraft directories, the 1999/2000 edition follows the same simple but proven formula of two aircraft (including a colour photograph of each) per page. Each aircraft entry features details on the aircraft's country/ies of origin, role/s, powerplant/s, performance, weights, dimensions, seating and/or freight capacity, numbers built, ordered and in service where known, and a concise history of the aircraft's development and variants. Significant aircraft families are often broken into separate entries for major model variants - for example the 747 range is described over two pages and four entries.

Compared with the 1997/98 edition, the 1999/2000 gains 20 new aircraft listings - ranging from the Bombardier Continental Jet to the Airbus A318 - while the carried over aircraft entries have been brought up to date to reflect the latest developments, usually with a new photograph. Some entries have been so heavily revised that they have effectively been re-written.

Aircraft covered range from airliners to light aircraft, to helicopters, to corporate jets and everything in between.

This book is the companion to the International Directory of Military Aircraft, by the same author.

Production: 1144 737-100s and 200s built, comprising 30 -100s and 1114 -200s, including various military models. Approximately 17 -100s and 925 737-200s remained in service in late 1998. Around 30 are used as corporate transports. History: The 737-100 and -200 are the first generation production models of the worlds most successful jet airliner family. The 737 was conceived as a short range small capacity airliner to round out the Boeing jet airliner family beneath the 727, 720 and 707. Announced in February 1965, the 737 was originally envisioned as a 60 to 85 seater, although following consultation with launch customer Lufthansa, a 100 seat design was settled upon. Design features included two underwing mounted turbofans and 60% structural and systems commonality with the 727, including the same fuselage cross section. The 737-100 made its first flight on April 9 1967 and entered service in February 1968. By this time however development of the larger capacity 1.93m (6ft 4in) stretched 737-200 was well advanced, and the first 737-200 flew for the first time on August 8 1967. Developments of the -200 include the -200C convertible and quick change -200QC, while an unprepared airfield kit was also offered. The definitive Advanced 737-200 appeared in 1971, featuring minor aerodynamic refinements and other improvements. Sales of the 737-200 far exceeded that of the shorter -100 and the 737-200 remained in production until 1988, by which time it had been superseded by the improved 737-300.
