[181] Pilot error was blamed for the type's first fatal accident, which occurred during takeoff at Karachi, Pakistan, on 3 March 1953 and involved a Canadian Pacific Airlines Comet 1A. Following its first flight, the special order Comet 4C was described as "the world's first executive jet. [170][N 23], The last two Comet 4C aircraft produced were modified as prototypes (XV148 & XV147) to meet a British requirement for a maritime patrol aircraft for the Royal Air Force; initially named "Maritime Comet", the design was designated Type HS 801. [49], The Comet's thin metal skin was composed of advanced new alloys[N 13] and was both riveted and chemically bonded, which saved weight and reduced the risk of fatigue cracks spreading from the rivets. [81] Three fatal Comet 1 crashes due to structural problems, specifically BOAC Flight 783 on 2 May 1953, BOAC Flight 781 on 10 January 1954, and South African Airways Flight 201 on 8 April 1954, led to the grounding of the entire Comet fleet. ", "On This Day: Comet inaugurates the jet age.". In March 1957, BOAC introduced Bristol Britannia aircraft which cut the journey time by 30 hours. The following is BOAC’s Africa service in Northern Summer 1960 season, taken from the Official Airline Guide – May 1960 Edition.. Comet 4 Aircraft 1 weekly BA121/122 London – Rome – Khartoum – Nairobi – Johannesburg 5 weekly BA115/116 London – Rome – Khartoum – Nairobi – Salisbury – Johannesburg. Areas formerly serviced by routes 46, 62 and 74 are now OnDemand. [135] The last Comet 4 variant, the Comet 4C, first flew on 31 October 1959 and entered service with Mexicana in 1960. [97] The Comet fleet was immediately grounded once again and a large investigation board was formed under the direction of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE). The Hermes IV was used by BOAC on routes to West and South Africa. [44], The cockpit was significantly altered for the Comet 4's introduction, on which an improved layout focusing on the onboard navigational suite was introduced. [183] Other fatal Comet 4 accidents include a British European Airways crash in Ankara, Turkey, following instrument failure on 21 December 1961, United Arab Airlines Flight 869 during inclement weather near Bombay, India, on 28 July 1963, and the terrorist bombing of Cyprus Airways Flight 284 off the Turkish coast on 12 October 1967. They remained with the airline until 1965. The de Havilland DH.106 Comet was the world's first commercial jet airliner. Please replace all older schedules with the February 8, 2021 timetables. The low-mounted engines and good placement of service panels also made aircraft maintenance easier to perform. The first Comet 4B flew on 27 June 1959 and BEA began Tel Aviv to London-Heathrow services on 1 April 1960. Kodera, Craig, Mike Machat and Jon Proctor. As a result, de Havilland re-profiled the wings' leading edge with a pronounced "droop",[87] and wing fences were added to control spanwise flow. [144], According to de Havilland's chief test pilot John Cunningham, who had flown the prototype's first flight, representatives from American manufacturers such as Boeing and Douglas privately disclosed that if de Havilland had not experienced the Comet's pressurisation problems first, it would have happened to them. The Abell Committee, named after chairman C. Abell, Deputy Operations Director (Engineering) of BOAC, consisted of representatives of the Allegation Review Board (A.R.B. BOAC loaned de Havilland a Comet so they could perform demonstration flights, while training, in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago and Detroit. The sole surviving Comet fuselage with the original square-shaped windows, part of a Comet 1A registered F-BGNX, has undergone restoration and is on display at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum in Hertfordshire, England. [76][77] A slightly longer version of the Comet 1 with more powerful engines, the Comet 2, was being developed,[78] and orders were placed by Air India,[79] British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines,[80] Japan Air Lines,[81] Linea Aeropostal Venezolana,[81] and Panair do Brasil. [151] In response to the Comet tragedies, manufacturers also developed various means of pressurisation testing, often going so far as to explore rapid depressurisation; subsequent fuselage skins were of a greater thickness than the skin of the Comet. [96][N 17], Just over a year later, Rome's Ciampino airport, the site of the first Comet hull loss, was the origin of a more disastrous Comet flight. COMET Central Bus Layout Map – Effective February 3, 2020. [N 2] As a result, committee member Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, head of the de Havilland company, used his personal influence and his company's expertise to champion the development of a jet propelled aircraft; and proposed a specification for a pure turbojet-powered design. The Comet Story. After design modifications were implemented, Comet services resumed in 1958. [164] The Comet 3 was destined to remain a development series since it did not incorporate the fuselage-strengthening modifications of the later series aircraft, and was not able to be fully pressurised. ", "I don't think it is too much to say that the world changed from the moment the Comet's wheels left the ground. [123], In June 1956 some more wreckage from G-ALYP was accidentally trawled up from an area about 15 miles south of where the original wreckage had been found. Please call 803.255.7123 at least one hour in advance to schedule. [88] A fictionalised investigation into the Comet's takeoff accidents was the subject of the novel Cone of Silence (1959) by Arthur David Beaty, a former BOAC captain. [24], The prototype was registered G-ALVG just before it was publicly displayed at the 1949 Farnborough Airshow prior to the start of flight trials. [84], On 26 October 1952, the Comet suffered its first hull loss when a BOAC flight departing Rome's Ciampino airport failed to become airborne and ran into rough ground at the end of the runway. I'm hoping to add more information in the future, so please get in touch if you have a timetable from a later date, or another operator, to share. With the discovery of the structural problems of the early series, all remaining Comets were withdrawn from service, while de Havilland launched a major effort to build a new version that would be both larger and stronger. [10], A design team was formed in 1946 under the leadership of chief designer Ronald Bishop, who had been responsible for the Mosquito fighter-bomber. [111] The windows' square shape caused stress concentration by generating levels of stress two or three times greater than across the rest of the fuselage. However, no mail was flown to or from Frankfurt on the outward flight. [62], The Comet 2 had a slightly larger wing, higher fuel capacity and more powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engines, which all improved the aircraft's range and performance;[156] its fuselage was 3 ft 1 in (0.94 m) longer than the Comet 1's. UofSC Transit Routes 13, 14,15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25 and 94 – Effective September 1, 2020. Chief designer Bishop chose the Comet's embedded-engine configuration because it avoided the drag of podded engines and allowed for a smaller fin and rudder, since the hazards of asymmetric thrust were reduced. The 1950s saw the world enter the passenger jet era - led by BOAC, with the Comet flying to Johannesburg in 1952, halving the previous flight time. Work went ahead on the Rolls-Royce Avon powered Comet 4 with longer fuselage, seats for up to 81, and additional, wing mounted, fuel tanks.The redesigned Comet 4, of which BOAC ordered 19, went into service on the 4 October 1958 on the North Atlantic route … All production Comet 2s were also modified to alleviate the fatigue problems (most of these served with the RAF as the Comet C2), while a programme to produce a Comet 2 with more powerful Avons was delayed. In monitoring COVID-19, The COMET is striving to exhaust all measures to keep passengers safe. [73], In their first year Comets carried 30,000 passengers. 1958: Two DeHavilland Comets depart London and New York, each bound for the other city. The fuselage sections and nose simulated a flight up to 70,000 ft at a temperature of −70˚C, with 2,000 lb pressure applications at 9 lb pressure/square in. Trischler, Helmuth and Stefan Zeilinger, eds. A year later, the second prototype G-5-2 made its maiden flight. All outstanding orders for the Comet 2 were cancelled by airline customers. [49] The Comet's high cabin pressure and fast operating speeds were unprecedented in commercial aviation, making its fuselage design an experimental process. ** Sheet is not included ** I have other lots and items running and I am always happy to combine shipping to reduce postage expenses. Development flying and route proving with the Comet 3 allowed accelerated certification of what was destined to be the most successful variant of the type, the Comet 4. The second prototype was registered G-ALZK in July 1950 and it was used by the BOAC Comet Unit at Hurn from April 1951 to carry out 500 flying hours of crew training and route proving. [92], After the loss of G-ALYV, the Central Government of India convened a court of inquiry[91] to examine the cause of the accident. This historic BOAC flight was followed by UAT Comet flights between Paris and Dakar, and South African Airways’ own Jo’burg to London service in competition with the BOAC service. [53][54], The Comet was powered by two pairs of turbojet engines buried in the wings close to the fuselage. Soda Cap Connector The Orbit Route 4 – Effective September 1, 2020. Armour had to be placed around the engine cells to contain debris from any serious engine failures; also, placing the engines inside the wing required a more complicated wing structure. The Imperial War Museum Duxford has a Comet 4 (G-APDB), originally in Dan-Air colours as part of its Flight Line Display, and later in BOAC livery at its AirSpace building. [190] Comet 4Cs are exhibited at the Flugausstellung Peter Junior at Hermeskeil, Germany (G-BDIW),[191] the Museum of Flight Restoration Center near Everett, Washington (N888WA),[176] and the National Museum of Flight near Edinburgh, Scotland (G-BDIX). [125][128] The base price of a new Comet 4 was roughly £1.14 million (£22.97 million in 2016). [N 8] Revised first orders from BOAC and British South American Airways[N 9] totalled 14 aircraft with delivery projected for 1952. The American jets were larger, faster, longer-ranged, and more cost-effective than the Comet. [27], The Comet was an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane powered by four jet engines; it had a four-place cockpit occupied by two pilots, a flight engineer, and a navigator. Hall: "In the light of known properties of the aluminium alloy D.T.D. The Comet 4 first flew on 27 April 1958 and received its Certificate of Airworthiness on 24 September 1958; the first was delivered to BOAC the next day. For the era, it offered a relatively quiet, comfortable passenger cabin and was commercially promising at its debut in 1952. 1–4.". [159] The first production aircraft (G-AMXA) flew on 27 August 1953. The earliest production aircraft, registered G-ALYP ("Yoke Peter"), first flew on 9 January 1951 and was subsequently lent to BOAC for development flying by its Comet Unit. Prototype G-5-2 was re-registered G-ALZK and delivered to the Comet Unit at Hurn (a unit set up by Capt. All 36 people aboard died in the accident. [57] However, the Comet's buried engine configuration increased its structural weight and complexity. Simons, Graham M. "Comet! [N 15] In summer 1953 eight BOAC Comets left London each week: three to Johannesburg, two to Tokyo, two to Singapore and one to Colombo. Initially used for development, training and route proving before the inaugural jet service to Jo,burg. Modifications to the interiors allowed the Comet 2s to be used in a number of different roles. [81][182], Pilot error resulting in controlled flight into terrain was blamed for five fatal Comet 4 accidents: an Aerolíneas Argentinas crash near Asunción, Paraguay, on 27 August 1959, Aerolíneas Argentinas Flight 322 at Campinas near São Paulo, Brazil, on 23 November 1961, United Arab Airlines Flight 869 in Thailand's Khao Yai mountains on 19 July 1962, a Saudi Arabian Government crash in the Italian Alps on 20 March 1963, and United Arab Airlines Flight 844 in Tripoli, Libya, on 2 January 1971. Details available on The COMET COVID-19 webpage. Developed and manufactured by de Havilland at its Hatfield Aerodrome in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, the Comet 1 prototype first flew in 1949. De Havilland Comet 1 - Comet 1A - BOAC - UAT - Air France - Canadian Pacific Airlines The Comet at Henlow (and later Lyneham gate guardian) is actually a Comet 2. (Pan Am's DC-6B was scheduled for 46 hours 45 minutes.) This wreckage was from the starboard side of the cabin just above the three front windows. [133] The Comet 4A ordered by Capital Airlines was instead built for BEA as the Comet 4B with a further fuselage stretch of 38 in (97 cm) and seating for 99 passengers. Sections of pressurised fuselage were subjected to high-altitude flight conditions via a large decompression chamber on-site,[N 10] and tested to failure. ", "Report of the Public Inquiry into the causes and circumstances of the accident which occurred on the 10 January 1954, to the Comet aircraft G-ALYP, Part IX (c): Action taken after the accident and prior to the accident to Comet G-ALYY: Naval search for wreckage. Following closely the design features of the two prototypes, the only noticeable change was the adoption of four-wheel bogie main undercarriage units, replacing the single main wheels. [89], The Comet's second fatal accident occurred on 2 May 1953, when BOAC Flight 783, a Comet 1, registered G-ALYV, crashed in a severe thundersquall six minutes after taking off from Calcutta-Dum Dum (now Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport), India,[90] killing all 43 on board. [178] Dan-Air bought all of the surviving flyable Comet 4s from the late 1960s into the 1970s; some were for spares reclamation but most were operated on the carrier's inclusive tour charters; a total of 48 Comets of all marks were acquired by the airline. [66] On 2 May 1952, as part of BOAC's route-proving trials, G-ALYP took off on the world's first jetliner[N 14] flight with fare-paying passengers and inaugurated scheduled service from London to Johannesburg. [15] The Comet 4 was considered the definitive series, having a longer range, higher cruising speed and higher maximum takeoff weight. [85][86] The accident was the first fatal jetliner crash, as well as the Comet's first accident to result in fatalities. Seaplane routes to Bahrain continued through the Second World War into the early 1950s, with BOAC operating weekly services to Karachi, Singapore and Hong Kong, and three flights a week to Sydney. [63] The square windows of the Comet 1 were replaced by the oval versions used on the Comet 2, which first flew in 1953, and the skin thickness was increased slightly. "Database: D.H. 106 Comet". [4], The committee accepted the proposal, calling it the "Type IV" (of five designs),[N 3] and awarded a development and production contract to de Havilland under the designation Type 106 in February 1945. [72] Flights on the Comet were about 50 percent faster than on advanced piston-engined aircraft such as the Douglas DC-6 (490 miles per hour (790 km/h) for the Comet compared to the DC-6's 315 miles per hour (507 km/h)), and a faster rate of climb further cut flight times. [40], The Comet had a total of four hydraulic systems, two primaries, one secondary, and a final emergency system for basic functions such as lowering the undercarriage. [97][98] With no witnesses to the disaster and only partial radio transmissions as incomplete evidence, no obvious reason for the crash could be deduced.

Qantas & BOAC Kangaroo Route 25th anniversary, 10 December 1959 The Jet Age When retired in 1973, the airframe was used for foam arrester trials before the fuselage was salvaged at BAE Woodford, to serve as the mock-up for the Nimrod.[167]. [187] However, this plan did not go ahead and the airframe was scrapped in 2013. BOAC's Comet 4s were leased out to Air Ceylon, Air India, AREA Ecuador, Central African Airways,[174] and Qantas Empire Airways;[80][175] after 1965 they were sold to AREA Ecuador, Dan-Air, Mexicana, Malaysian Airways, and the Ministry of Defence. Soda Cap Connector Routes 1, 2 and 3 – Effective February 3, 2020 (Routes 2 and 3 are suspended at this time) View. [31][60] These were tested on 30 flights, but the Ghosts alone were considered powerful enough and some airlines concluded that rocket motors were impractical. Cone of Silence was made into a film in 1960, and Beaty also recounted the story of the Comet's takeoff accidents in a chapter of his non-fiction work, Strange Encounters: Mysteries of the Air (1984). BEA, BOAC and BA have flown The Queen on many state visits and tours. Atkinson, R. J., W. J. Winkworth and G. M. Norris. [81], Both early accidents were originally attributed to pilot error, as over-rotation had led to a loss of lift from the leading edge of the aircraft's wings. Avon-powered Comets were distinguished by larger air intakes and curved tailpipes that reduced the thermal effect on the rear fuselage. Mk 1. BOAC ordered 19 Comet 4s in March 1955, while American operator Capital Airlines ordered 14 Comets in July 1956. The route was London, Frankfurt, Beirut, Karachi, Delhi, Calcutta, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo. Pen and Sword, 2013. Specialised signals intelligence and electronic surveillance capability was later added to some airframes. [22][23] At the controls was de Havilland chief test pilot John "Cats Eyes" Cunningham, a famous night-fighter pilot of the Second World War, along with co-pilot Harold "Tubby" Waters, engineers John Wilson (electrics) and Frank Reynolds (hydraulics), and flight test observer Tony Fairbrother. [82][83] Qantas was interested in the Comet 1 but concluded that a version with more range and better takeoff performance was needed for the London to Canberra route. The Sud-Est SE 530/532/535 Mistral (FB 53) was a single-seat fighter-bomber version of the de Havilland Vampire jet fighter, used by. All early Comets were withdrawn from service for accident inquiries, during which orders from British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines, Japan Air Lines, Linea Aeropostal Venezolana, National Airlines, Pan American World Airways, and Panair do Brasil were cancelled. These improvements were possible largely because of Avon engines with twice the thrust of the Comet 1's Ghosts. [5] Aviation company de Havilland was interested in this requirement, but chose to challenge the then widely-held view that jet engines were too fuel-hungry and unreliable for such a role. [39] Additionally, a large number of the control surfaces, such as the elevators, were equipped with a complex gearing system as a safeguard against accidentally over-stressing the surfaces or airframe at higher speed ranges. [81] American carriers Capital Airlines, National Airlines, and Pan Am placed orders for the planned Comet 3, an even larger, longer-range version for transatlantic operations. [164] As a flying testbed, it was later modified with Avon RA29 engines fitted, as well as replacing the original long-span wings with reduced span wings as the Comet 3B and demonstrated in British European Airways (BEA) livery at the Farnborough Airshow in September 1958. [10][148] While the Comet's buried engines were used on some other early jet airliners, such as the Tupolev Tu-104,[149] later aircraft, such as the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8, would differ by employing podded engines held on pylons beneath the wings. [13][18][19] The entire forward fuselage section was tested for metal fatigue by repeatedly pressurising to 2.75 pounds per square inch (19.0 kPa) overpressure and depressurising through more than 16,000 cycles, equivalent to about 40,000 hours of airline service. G-ALYP was the third Comet built. [146][147], Aeronautical engineering firms were quick to respond to the Comet's commercial advantages and technical flaws alike; other aircraft manufacturers learned from, and profited by, the hard-earned lessons embodied by de Havilland's Comet. [62], From the Comet 2 onwards, the Ghost engines were replaced by the newer and more powerful 7,000 lbf (31 kN) Rolls-Royce Avon AJ.65 engines. [13] Sprite fittings were retained on production aircraft. Free delivery for many products! Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, "Comet Engineering: The Performance of Airframe, Engines, and Equipment in Operational Service. [49] At its introduction, Comet airframes would be subjected to an intense, high-speed operating schedule which included simultaneous extreme heat from desert airfields and frosty cold from the kerosene-filled fuel tanks, still cold from cruising at high altitude. [131] After analysing route structures for the Comet, BOAC reluctantly cast about for a successor, and in 1956 entered into an agreement with Boeing to purchase the 707. "Report of the court investigation on the accident to COMET G-ALYV", "B.O.A.C. [41] The undercarriage could also be lowered by a combination of gravity and a hand-pump. Comet Lost: Services Suspended. [20], The first prototype DH.106 Comet (carrying Class B markings G-5-1) was completed in 1949, and was initially used to conduct ground tests and brief early flights. As the aircraft could be profitable with a load factor as low as 43 percent, commercial success was expected. [165] Assigned in 1961 to the Blind Landing Experimental Unit (BLEU) at RAE Bedford, the final testbed role played by G–ANLO was in automatic landing system experiments. [177] Channel Airways obtained five Comet 4Bs from BEA in 1970 for inclusive tour charters. Examination of the cockpit controls suggested that the pilot may have inadvertently over-stressed the aircraft when pulling out of a steep dive by over-manipulation of the fully powered flight controls. Jones, Barry. Ken Emmott. [47] In 1969, when the Comet 4's design was modified by Hawker Siddeley to become the basis for the Nimrod, the cockpit layout was completely redesigned and bore little resemblance to its predecessors except for the control yoke. [156] Following the Comet 1 disasters, these models were rebuilt with heavier gauge skin and rounded windows, and the Avon engines featuring larger air intakes and outward-curving jet tailpipes.
