See my other post on this.


I saw it. I was not impressed.



Information to the US being drip fed to the US.


I have no idea what that means.



It wasn't, here is the final report.

The research into the Comet was vital for many subsequent designs. The
prime problems with the Comet was that they would not develop a more
powerful engine because of costs. So they made the skin far too thin for
light weight to suit an existing engine. The square windows didn't help
at
all.


That's a report?



If a more powerful engine (and thicker skin) and oval windows used in the
initial design, it would have worked very well. But!!!! Many subsequent
planes would have fallen out of the sky with the problems the Comet had in
metal fatigue, etc. In hindsight the Comets research made all jet planes
far safer, and saved many lives.


How so? Boeing made those "changes" without the report on the Comet's
problems.
