Aeronautical Dead End – the Dehavilland Comet Abstract: The Comet entered into service in the early 1950s and was the first commercial jet airliner in service. But it soon ran into trouble because of its airframe design, which was highly conducive to metal fatigue. Multiple crashes with the airplane disintegrating mid-air led to its withdrawal.
