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. Y'mean the Comet is why we lost the Vietnam War???? If you'd had the Comet, you'd have lost it even faster than you did!  John
