The Britannia was a Brabazon phase, so was the Comet. That makes two
types with many planes.


You're confusing the committee with the hardware.


They did they

adopted...........again..........sigh..........p ressurised
cabin,

The Boeing 307 had that ten years before the Brabazon.


hydraulic power units to operate control surfaces,

The Curtiss CW20 had that ten years before the Brabazon.


But not all the points together.


Actually, it did.


No it never. "All" the points.

The Brabazon was a failed concept,
intended to take a few paying
passengers,


You mean Brab 1. Some excellent planes emerged from the Brabazon project.

BOAC saw what they might be getting, and bought Stratoliners and
Constellations instead.


And later Comets and Britannia's, etc too. And currently Airbuses which are
now No.1 The days of the yank dominating civil aviation are over.
