The de Havilland Comet was the world's first commercial jet airliner, marking the dawn of the jet age in the early 1950s. With its sleek, beautiful design and four powerful turbojet engines, the Comet promised to revolutionize air travel by offering unprecedented speed and comfort. It first took to the skies in 1949 and entered service in 1952, initially earning acclaim for its smooth, fast, and high-flying journeys. However, its reputation was marred by a series of tragic accidents due to structural failures. Despite these setbacks, the Comet underwent extensive redesigns, leading to later models that served reliably for many years. The Comet's legacy is profound, paving the way for the modern jet airliners that now crisscross the skies. It was used by a variety of airlines around the world and had military variants, showcasing its versatility and pioneering technology.
