Скачать или смотреть The de Havilland Comet's Design Flaws (1954) | How Aviation Learned to Endure, not just Fly.

The Jet Age did not begin with perfection — it began with bold ideas, hard lessons, and unexpected consequences.

In the years following the Second World War, aviation technology advanced faster than at any other moment in history. Aircraft once designed for operational service were reimagined to carry passengers across continents. At the center of this transformation was the world’s first commercial jet airliner — the De Havilland Comet.

This documentary explores how post-war aircraft design reshaped global travel, why early jet airliners faced unseen structural challenges, and how one ambitious British aircraft quietly rewrote the rules of aviation safety. From pressurized cabins and high-altitude flight to fatigue testing and structural endurance, the lessons learned during this era became the foundation of every modern passenger aircraft flying today.

We follow the transition from piston-powered transports to jet propulsion, examine how early setbacks changed engineering forever, and reveal how these experiences influenced aircraft like the Boeing 707 — helping launch a safer, faster, and more connected world.

This is the story of how war-era innovation became civilian progress — and how aviation learned to endure, not just fly.
