History:
The de Havilland DH 106 Comet was the world's first commercial jetliner. Developed and manufactured by de Havilland at its Hatfield Aerodrome, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom headquarters, the Comet 1 prototype first flew on 27 July 1949. It featured an aerodynamically clean design with four de Havilland Ghost turbojet engines buried in the wings, a pressurised fuselage, and large square windows. For the era, it offered a relatively quiet, comfortable passenger cabin and showed signs of being a commercial success at its 1952 debut.
A year after entering commercial service, the Comets began suffering problems, with three of them breaking up during mid-flight in well-publicised accidents. These were later found to be due to catastrophic metal fatigue in the airframes, not well understood at the time. The Comet was withdrawn from service and extensively tested to discover the cause; the first incident had been incorrectly blamed on adverse weather. Design flaws, including dangerous stresses at the corners of the square windows and installation methods, were ultimately identified. As a result, the Comet was extensively redesigned with oval windows, structural reinforcement, and other changes. Rival manufacturers meanwhile heeded the lessons learned from the Comet while developing their own aircraft.
Although sales never fully recovered, the improved Comet 2 and the prototype Comet 3 culminated in the redesigned Comet 4 series which debuted in 1958 and had a productive career of over 30 years. The Comet was adapted for a variety of military roles such as VIP, medical and passenger transport, as well as surveillance. The most extensive modification resulted in a specialised maritime patrol aircraft variant, the Hawker Siddeley Nimrod. Nimrod remained in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) until June 2011, over 60 years after the Comet's first flight.

I'm going to make a militarized version
Hey man I got an idea ...k ... u know square windows will be great...I gues... “installed square windows”great...”1 year later”wtf is with this giant crack in the body of the plane... idk man
Can u comment to tell Deva that I got permission
@Phantom1
Sure
Can I upload a painted version
@SimpleFlow There is confusion between our PCs right now.
@aceofspades2707
Nope, works perfectly fine
@SimpleFlow Check again man. Control surfaces on the wings are all VTOL. And I am not a game.
@aceofspades2707
And I didn't see any other complaints so you're game is broken
@aceofspades2707
Well mine works perfectly fine so you're game is broken
@SimpleFlow There are no roll at all.
@aceofspades2707
Tf are you talking about?? The roll is realistic
Dude, you lack roll. Don't worry, I fixed it. No hate, but, this is how you treat your 200 followers?
@spasmsofjustice
Thanks alot and yeah, that's interesting
Nice plane!! I think the reason why they kept blowing up is because the aluminium skin was only 1.5mm thick and around the areas that had been riveted (windows, hatches etc) microscopic cracks were formed that grew larger and eventually ripped the plane apart. All passengers would die of depressurisation immediately and so they were put out of commission. Btw U nailed this plane it looks amazing!!
Awesome plane dude!
@TheNightmare811
Sure
What is it
Cheers- I actually have a question for you in the form of a forum post- I'd appreciate it if you could have a look (if you have time) @SimpleFlow
@TheNightmare811
I will make a tutorial on these tricks in about a day for everyone. So stay tuned
