Why Planes Stopped Using Square Windows

Why are airplane windows round instead of square? The story goes back to the de Havilland Comet, the world’s first jet airliner, and the accidents that changed aviation. Through cinematic 3D animation, we follow the Comet’s rise, its final radio calls, and the investigation that uncovered how repeated cabin pressure could wear down metal. Discover the giant water-tank test, the tiny flaw investigators found, and why the familiar story about square passenger windows leaves out an important detail. The 3D scenes are illustrative reconstructions. #Aviation #3DAnimation #AirplaneWindows
