Aviation history
The De Havilland Comet was the first jet airliner to fly a scheduled route in 1952, but the original version of the Comet had serious design problems leading to several highly-publicised crashes, and the entire fleet was eventually grounded (the Comet later reemerged in improved versions, and served as the basis for the Hawker Siddeley Nimrod).

Social history
Large aircraft powered by turbine engines are able to fly much higher, faster, and farther than older piston-powered propliners, making transcontinental and inter-continental travel considerably faster and easier: for example, aircraft leaving North America and crossing the Atlantic Ocean (and later, the Pacific Ocean) could now fly to their destinations non-stop, making much of the world accessible within a single day's travel for the first time. A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a rotary Engine that extracts energy from a flow of Combustion gas A reciprocating engine, also often known as a piston engine, is a Heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating Pistons to convert A propliner is a large propeller-driven Airliner. Typically the term is used for piston-powered airliners that flew before the beginning of the Jet age The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth 's Oceanic divisions Since large jetliners could also carry more passengers, airfares also declined (relative to inflation), so people from a greater range of social classes could afford to travel outside of their own countries. In economics inflation or price inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services over a period of time In many ways, these changes in mobility are similar to those brought about by railroads during the 19th century. The 19th century of the Common Era began on January 1, 1801 and ended on December 31, 1900, according to the Gregorian calendar
The introduction of the Concorde supersonic passenger airliner to regular service in 1976 was expected to bring similar social changes, but the aircraft never found commercial success, and after a crash in Paris, flights were discontinued in 2003.
