GOOSE GOOSE DUCK DISCORD SERVER FULL
This was all powered by DeHavilland's latest and best engine design - the DeHavilland Gipsy Six I, with special racing variants produced specifically for the comets, with a higher compression ratio allowing for 225 hp to be produced, and allowing for the engine to be run at full throttle at cruise altitude for maximum performance and efficiency. The comet was the latest design by DeHavilland aircraft and their lead engineer A.E.Hagg, who collated a wide range of modern and experimental techniques which resulted in a wooden monoplane with a very streamlined and smooth appearance. Many have marked the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race as one of the key points which catapulted the civil air industry into a new era, publily highlighting the technologicial achievements and advancements of monoplane design, not just in Britain, but across the globe. Just a few days after their delivery, the first 3 comets took part in the race, with G-ACSS 'Grosvenor House' winning the race in a record breaking time of 70 hours, 54 minutes and 18 seconds, beating the newly introduced DC-2 and Boing 247D. 88 Comet was DeHavilland's solution to winning the MacRobertson air race of October 1934 between the newly completed Mildenhall aerodrome, England and Flemington Racecourse, Australia.
