Dehavilland Comet

The video discusses the development and challenges of the De Havilland Comet, the first commercial jet airliner. Initially seen as a symbol of British innovation post-WWII, the Comet faced design flaws, particularly with its square windows, leading to catastrophic failures. Despite improvements and the introduction of the Comet 4, its reputation was damaged, and it faced competition from Boeing's 707.
