Commercial Airlines • Remarkable developments in aircraft design occurred during the war. • Better instrumentation • Better Navigation • Increased Safety • Radar was developed

Commercial Airlines • More pilots were available and they were better than ever before

Commercial Airlines • New and better planes were developed • Douglas DC-4 • Popular because of excess number after war • Lockheed Constellation • Pressurized and 100 mph faster than DC-4

Commercial Airlines Adopt Jet Engines • First jet airliners were British

Commercial Airlines Adopt Jet Engines • There were two types of propulsion: • turboprop • pure jet • Both used jet turbine engine • Difference is where the main thrust originates • SUCK, SQUEEZE, BANG, BLOW

Commercial Airlines Adopt Jet Engines • World’s first jet turboprop was the Vickers Viscount • Powered by 4 Rolls Royce engines

Commercial Airlines Adopt Jet Engines • De. Havilland Comet I was the world’s first “pure” jet airliner. • The Comet revolutionized commercial travel • Flew at 500 mph • Flew at higher altitude (25, 000 – 30, 000 ft)

Commercial Airlines Adopt Jet Engines • In 1945, 3 million flew commercially in America • By 1950, about 17 million • By 1958, when commercial jets were introduced, about 30 million passengers flew
