Read what I wrote about the Brabazon 1


Do you mean this:

"The Brabazon 1 had a pressurised cabin, hydraulic power units to operate
the
giant control surfaces, the first with 100% powered flying controls, the
first with electric engine controls, the first with high-pressure
hydraulics, and the first with AC electrics."

Looks like a slightly modified copy-and-paste from
http://unrealaircraft.com/content.php?page=c_brab to me. It doesn't look
like your writing, not a single word is misspelled.


Brabazon was a project of three. Two were made, one never.


Only one Brabazon was made.


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

Brabazon was
pioneering and set the pattern for all others in most ways.


If the Brabazon set the pattern why is it no airline ever operated an
aircraft similar to the Brabazon?


They did they adopted...........again..........sigh..........p ressurised
cabin, hydraulic power units to operate control surfaces, 100% powered
flying controls, electric engine controls, high-pressure hydraulics and AC
electrics.

The Britannia was a Brabazon phase,


Actually it wasn't, it was built to a later requirement. Bristol did manage
to build more than one of them, but not by much.

so was the Comet.


The Type IV that resulted in the de Havilland Comet was supposed to be a
high speed, limited capacity mailplane.

That makes two types


You appear to only know one additional type that resulted in hardware, if
you try harder you might find out the Brabazon designs that could possibly
be considered "success" stories.

not worth much

Like 85 of them and long range versions as well.

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.
