In aviation this plane is seen as one of the greatest technological leaps of the 20th century. The Comet was the world’s first Jet passenger plane. Not this particular comet this was a later variant of the plane. But the Comet family first took to the skies in the twilight days of the 1940s. As the world entered a new decade the plane was a symbol of British Engineering, a statement that Britain was cementing itself as a mainstay in the aviation industry, leading the way no less. As the first jet airliner developed behind closed doors, its arrival turned the heads of engineers all over the world. The comet could fly fast, slashing flight times between destinations. The comet could fly higher and provided a greater level of comfort to its passengers. For half a decade, the comet went unchallenged in the aviation industry. It wasn’t until 1956 when the Soviet Union launched the Tupolev 104 and later with the arrival of the Boeing 707 and DC8 that the plane was met with some kind of competition. For what it all the Comet was worth though, it certainly wasn’t without tragedy. Breaking into new frontiers in the sky, the arrival of the comet seemed to present more technological hurdles than previously thought. The early days of this plane are marred with multiple accidents that claimed dozens of lives. In this video we’ll look a little deeper into the tragic history of the Comet focusing on a particular accident that signalled the beginning of the end of this iconic aircraft. #aviation 00:00 Intro 01:43 BOAC Flight 781 09:23 Troubled Skies 13:00 South African Airways Flight 201 15:30 It Wasn't The Square Windows 22:03 Meet The Comets Sources: https://www.baaa-acro.com/sites/defau... https://aviation-safety.net/database/... https://web.archive.org/web/201708272... https://www.nms.ac.uk/explore-our-col.... https://www.baesystems.com/en-uk/heri... https://simpleflying.com/last-de-havi...    • YOU have Misunderstood The De Havilla...   https://www.baaa-acro.com/crash/crash... http://www.dh-aircraft.co.uk/aircraft...
