Avro C102 Jetliner

This was the second jet airliiner to fly, 13 days after the
Comet's first short trial. The prototype flew for several years
without serious incident before being scrapped.

There's a copy of a 1950 ASME lecture about the design at

it's well worth a look

There's also an (excellent) article in this month's Aeroplane
Monthly magazine (UK). Recommended.

The problem with the jetliner was that while lots of airlines WANTED it,
the bloody government basically
shutdown the programme because they didn't want Avro to fall behind on
development and delivery work for
the canucks.
