EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, we see the first production de Havilland DH106 Comet 2, registration G-AMXA, as it takes to the skies for the very first time. This groundbreaking aircraft, manufactured by de Havilland, represents a significant milestone in aviation history as the world's first jet-powered airliner. The Comet 2, a twin-engine transport plane, was designed and built in response to the growing demand for faster and more efficient air travel. The sleek and innovative design of the Comet 2 featured a distinctive bullet-shaped fuselage, which was an engineering marvel at the time, allowing for an increased cabin pressure and larger windows, providing passengers with a more comfortable flying experience. G-AMXA, the first production model, made its maiden flight on July 27, 1954, piloted by test pilots John Cunningham and Alan W. Peterson. The aircraft was then delivered to British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) later that year, marking the beginning of a new era in commercial aviation. This photograph captures a moment in time as the Comet 2, with its distinctive tail fin and wing design, ascends into the clear blue sky, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. The image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the de Havilland team and their groundbreaking contribution to the world of aviation. The de Havilland DH106 Comet 2, with its advanced design and impressive capabilities, paved the way for the jet age and revolutionized air travel, setting new standards for comfort, speed, and efficiency. This photograph is a reminder of the excitement and wonder that surrounded the introduction of this pioneering aircraft and the impact it had on the aviation industry.
