Description

The graceful de Havilland Comet was the first aircraft to bring high-speed, jet-powered flight to the world's airline marketplace. Unfortunately, it was also one of the first civilian aircraft to fail in flight from explosive disintegration stemming from a lack of contemporary knowledge about the forces and loads experienced by high-altitude, pressurized, jet transport aircraft.
