EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the archives, the de Havilland DH-106 Comet I / 1 prototype soars through the clear English sky during its flypast at the 1949 Farnborough Airshow. The Comet, a groundbreaking jet-powered airliner, was the world's first commercial jet aircraft to enter service, marking a new era in air travel. The image, captured at RAF Farnborough Common (EGLF), in Hampshire, England, showcases the sleek and innovative design of the Comet, with its distinctive swept-wing configuration and tailfin. The crowd of onlookers, gathered on the grassy airfield, gazes up in awe as the aircraft passes overhead, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. The Comet, developed by de Havilland and powered by four de Havilland Ghost 40 turbojet engines, made its maiden flight on July 27, 1949. The aircraft's advanced design, featuring a pressurized cabin and a fuselage made primarily of aluminum alloy, allowed for a more comfortable and efficient flying experience. The Comet's introduction revolutionized air travel, making long-distance flights faster and more accessible to the public. This photograph, taken in the late 1940s or early 1950s, is a testament to the excitement and innovation that surrounded the dawn of the jet age. The de Havilland DH-106 Comet I / 1 prototype's flypast at the Farnborough Airshow is a moment frozen in time, a reminder of the awe-inspiring achievements of the past and the promise of the future.
