഍ഀ The pioneering Comet, built by de ഍ഀ Havilland, was the world's first jet airliner. It was cutting edge ഍ഀ technology, designed to fly faster & also higher than earlier ഍ഀ aircraft, thanks to it's pressurized cabin. Unfortunately after entering ഍ഀ service in 1953, it was grounded the next year after a number of ഍ഀ catastrophic structural failures. After lengthy tests & modifications ഍ഀ the Comet was reintroduced, but it had lost it's head start over the newer ഍ഀ & more modern Boeing 707. The Comet 4 was the main production ഍ഀ model. It had an extended fuselage & was powered by 4 Rolls Royce Avon ഍ഀ engines. It entered service in 1958 & became the first jet transport ഍ഀ across the Atlantic.

More realistic ഍ഀ take-off performance Less engine power & reduced rate of ഍ഀ acceleration ഍ഀ Thanks to Supruet Thavornyutikarn for ഍ഀ providing me with some helpful information about the Comet's performance ഍ഀ characteristics.

഍ഀ The Comet ഍ഀ 4C had the extended fuselage of the 4B & the longer wings & extra ഍ഀ fuel tanks of the Comet 4. It entered service with Mexicana in 1960. By ഍ഀ 1977 the only airline still operating the Comet was Dan-Air. They acquired ഍ഀ 49 Comets in all, although most were used for spare parts, with only 19 ഍ഀ ever in service at the same time. The last Dan-Air Comet was retired in ഍ഀ 1980. The last airworthy Comet, a 4C XS235 'Canopus', has been kept in ഍ഀ working order & it is planned that it will soon fly again in the ഍ഀ colours of BOAC.
