1. De Havilland Comet - Airliner Tech Vol. 7
Paperback by Kev Darling. The graceful de Havilland Comet was the first aircraft to bring high speed, jet-powered flight to the world's airline marketplace. Unfortunately, it was also one of the very first civilian aircraft to fail in flight from explosive disintegration caused by a then marginal understanding of the forces and loads experienced by high altitude, pressurized, jet transport aircraft. Although it was a civil airliner failure, the redesigned Comet went on to serve the Royal Airforce in an updated configuration as the "Nimrod," one of the world's longest lived and most highly regarded military patrol aircraft.

Excerpt: AS.57 Ambassador The Airspeed AS.57 Ambassador was a British twin piston engined airliner that first flew on July 10, 1947 and served in small numbers through the 1950s and 1960s. Design and development The Ambassador had its origin in 1943 as a requirement identified by the Brabazon Committee for a twin-engined, short to medium-haul Douglas DC-3 replacement. Airspeed Ltd. was asked to prepare an unpressurised design in the 14.5 ton gross-weight class, using two Bristol Hercules radial engines . By the time the British Ministry of Aircraft Production ordered two prototypes from Airspeed, immediately after the end of the Second World War , the design had grown substantially. The Ambassador would be pressurized, have more powerful Bristol Centaurus radials, and have a maximum gross weight of almost 24 tons. The revised design offered seating for 47 passengers and, having a nose wheel undercarriage , looked more modern than the DC-3s, Curtiss Commandos , Avro Lancastrians and Vickers Vikings that were common on Europe's shorter airline routes. With three low fins it shared something of the character of the larger trans-continental Lockheed Constellation . Production and operations Three prototypes were built. The first was flown by George B.S. Errington on 10 July 1947. British European Airways (BEA) placed a £3 million order for 20 aircraft in September 1948, and operated them...
