In this video, we present a detailed case study on one of the most significant turning points in aviation history: the crash of BOAC Flight 781.
In 1954, the De Havilland Comet was the pride of the skies as the world's first commercial jetliner. However, a catastrophic mid-air disintegration near the island of Elba shocked the world and grounded the fleet.
We explore the unprecedented investigation led by Sir Arnold Hall, the Royal Navy's massive salvage operation, and the groundbreaking water tank experiment that revealed the hidden enemy: Metal Fatigue. Learn how a simple design choice—square windows—caused the disaster and how the lessons learned made flying safer for everyone today.
Key Topics Covered:
The rise of the De Havilland Comet
The timeline of the Flight 781 disaster
The medical and physical evidence found
The discovery of stress concentration and metal fatigue
The legacy of the investigation in modern aerospace engineering
This presentation is submitted as an assignment for MVJ College of Engineering.
