They were slow prop jobs, not fast jets. Do you know the difference?


So metal fatigue is a function of speed?



The Brabazon was "huge" and the Comet a jet. Both pioneering planes.


You're half right. The Brabazon flew two years after the Convair XC-99, had
the same wingspan, was eight feet shorter, and had a 30,000 lb lower takeoff
weight. The Brabazon pioneered nothing.



What garbage. The lessons of the Comet were taken notice of by all.
That is does not mean the same design of cabin/frame.


The lessons of the Comet with regard to metal fatigue did not influence the
design of the Boeing 367-80 in any way.



You are obviously not from an engineering background.


Well, it's obvious you are not from an engineering background.



More garbage. It was the forerunner of "every" modern airliner.


How can that be? Nobody operated an airliner similar to the Brabazon.



The wisdom of our resident redneck. I advise you to look into the
Brabazon project instead of babbling balls. It was the forerunner of
"every" modern airliner and too far ahead of its time, being too big.
Any problems seen were rectified and/or noted for future planes.


What future planes?
