The De Havilland Comet is important as it was the world's first commercial jet airliner, revolutionizing air travel by significantly reducing flight times and increasing passenger capacity. Introduced in 1952, it set the standard for future jet designs and paved the way for the modern aviation industry. However, its early service was marred by a series of tragic accidents due to structural failures, leading to critical advancements in aircraft safety and engineering practices. The Comet's legacy continues to influence aircraft design and safety protocols today.

What aircraft are made in Canada?

There have been 3 main aviation companies in Canada as far as I can tell. Bombardier Aerosace, De Havilland Canada and Canadair. De Havilland Canada created the DHC 6,7 and 8 series but De Havilland Canada where bought by bombardier so they are now made under bombardier but are still reffered to as DHC-8-Q400, DHC-6-700 etc. Canadair began production of the regional jet series and they to where bought by Bombardier Aerosace and are manufactures by them but like De Havilland Canada they are still produced under there old name CRJ-1000 (Canadair Regional Jet - 1000)


Why does the head of the comet always facing the sun?

its not the head of comet always faces de sun but its the tail that will b formed always away 4m de direction of sun. that's y u`ll c as if head is always towards de sun. n tail is formed by water vapour n dust from comets surface . as de comet moves around de sun a pseudo force called centrifugal force acts on these particles in de direction away from de sun so they flow in that direction n forms de tail which makes de actual comet look like head which is always towards de sun.

I don't think so. The only connection I can think of is that two photographers - Steve Dunn and Tim Dunn - have both taken important pictures of comet Hale-Bopp, and others.

Where do the 3 main parts of a comet go?

The three main parts of a comet are the Nucleus, the Coma, and the Tail. The nucleus is the comet itself. In deep space, the comet is frozen solid and almost invisible. As the comet approaches the sun, the Sun's light heats the nucleus of the comet and causes frozen gasses to melt or sublimate, forming a sort of atmosphere around the comet. This is the "Coma" of the comet. The sunlight causes the gasses around the comet to glow. But the gravity of the comet's nucleus isn't strong enough to hold on to an atmosphere, and the Sun's rays push the glowing gasses away from the nucleus, directly away from the Sun. This stream of glowing gas is the "tail" of the comet. It's important to note that the tail of a comet doesn't drag behind the nucleus; the "tail" goes straight from the nucleus away from the Sun, so the "tail" sometimes extends AHEAD of the comet. Because the material of the comet nucleus gets melted and loses mass every pass by the Sun, comets have a limited lifespan. At some point, each comet will break apart into pieces and disappear, leaving only a meteor shower in its wake.
