De Havilland Comet Kit Card

The De Havilland Comet was the world’s first commercial jet airliner, introduced by the British aerospace manufacturer de Havilland in 1952. This revolutionary aircraft featured a sleek, streamlined design with four jet engines embedded in its wings, enabling faster and higher-altitude travel compared to propeller-driven planes. The Comet initially captured public fascination for its speed and modernity, symbolizing a new era in aviation. However, early models faced significant challenges, including structural failures due to metal fatigue, which led to high-profile accidents. These setbacks prompted design improvements, ultimately contributing to advancements in aircraft engineering and safety standards that influenced future jetliner development.
