We often learn the most from our failures, this is - See more at: http://www.sirilankawa.org/2016/09/why-airplane-windows-are-round-amazing.html#sthash.kMTQ5dcl.dpuf particularly true for advancements in the field of engineering. Unfortunately for the engineers in the aviation industry, the prices to pay for failure are high. This will be a reoccurring theme in my videos, trust me. The flip-side of this unforgiving industry, is that it consistently provides learning opportunities for engineers, because failure is not an option when peoples lives are at risk. One of the greatest examples of this occurred during the development of cabin pressurisation. The problems caused by cabin pressurisation didn’t develop until the introduction of the first commercial jet powered aircraft, The De Havilland Comet. It entered service in 1952 and initially proved to be a massive success, but just one year into service catastrophe struck. Three Comets suffered fatal mid-flight disintegrations and the entire fleet was grounded until the cause was identified. - See more at: http://www.sirilankawa.org/2016/09/why-airplane-windows-are-round-amazing.html#sthash.kMTQ5dcl.dpuf
