Correct. The problem was that the de Havilland engineers had to go with the lightest plane possible due to the somewhat underpowered jet engines actually made the plane more vulnerable to metal fatigue. The results of the Comet I crash investigation was the reason why the 707, DC-8 and Tu-104 all went with rounded windows on the side of the fuselage.

@@Sacto1654 : Utter nonsense. rounded windows had been standard on Boeing pressurised transports for years before the 707 or the Comet disasters. And on the wartime Lockheed Constellation. And the reason is that for sufficient strength the weight is less. There is nothing inherently bad about squared off windows - its a matter of competent engineering. All doors on pressurised airliners are square and they do not fail. This business about Comets and square windows was fluff put out by technically ignorant journalists who figured it was a good story they could sell to equally ignorant public. The Comet 1 had several crashes until permanently grounded for various reasons - faulty engine air intake design, incorrectly specified radio antenna that couldn't take the pressure differential, an inadequate riveting method, etc. All these fatal flaws were due to it being designed and engineered by incompetent inexperienced fools. It wasn't a case of other manufacturers benefitting from the Comet mistakes, it was a case of the Comet designers being too dumb and stupid to use what was already known by others. Finally, there was not A Comet crash investigation, there were about 10 of them (a couple of crashes reinvestigated when more debris was found), with some key findings kept secret until 2015.

The "story" I heard while working as a rep at Boeing: The 707 fuel tanks could not withstand inverted flight for very long. Reason: they either had no fuel pumps or the fuel pumps, inside the tanks, would gravitate and the engines would flame out. SO...as a result...the barrel roll had to be accomplished with a 1G constant pressure on the aircraft (and the tanks). As a result that's what Tex did. Not so easy a task to accomplish without a "dress rehearsal" and a very accomplished pilot.

From 1999-2001, I was a Guidance and Control technician in Omaha, NE and worked on nearly every operational 707 airframe remaining in the USAF.

Unfortunately, the turbojet engines damaged my hearing so badly, I was transferred into a 'desk' job (I wasn't happy about it at the time, but Intelligence was a much better career field overall.

On October 13, 1968, my 22nd birthday, I was waiting to board a Continental 707 for my flight home from Danang, South Vietnam. I just finished my 13 months on the DMZ with A Co. 3rd Tank Bn. 3rd Marines. As we waited on the tarmac, 122 rockets started impacting around us. The pilot had the engines running and was reading out the manifest to board. He threw his papers up into the air and yelled, "get on board if you are coming!". We piled on board. They shut the boarding door and he took off. It was monsoon and heavily over-clouded. As I tried to fasten my seatbelt, I was upside down, and a stewardess went flying by me. After we settled down out over the South China Sea, the pilot got on the intercom and told us that we had just been in a barrel roll to avoid an incoming Vietnamese transport plane. Of course, we took off without clearance. The stewardess broke her arm but everyone else was okay. He commented that the 707 could do almost anything a fighter plane could do. I believed him!

I went to an airshow over 50 years ago, organised by a glider club. There were lots of gliders, Cessnas, and other small single prop aircraft on display, a helicopter giving rides etc. The local airline based at the capital city 150 km away sent over a Fokker F28 (mid sized T-jet airliner) - a brand new one they had recently purchased. It amazed the crowd - pilot threw it around the sky like a dog-fighting fighter jet, though he didn't quite get it upside down. I remember the commentator saying something like "Captain so and so and his co are enjoying themselves with this one-time opportunity - they can't do this with passengers on board - the passengers would vomit and/or black out."

At 2:51 the narrator says airlines couldn't understand the need for jets. Not true. By then they were getting pretty sick of the high maintenance costs and frequent failures inherent in a large 4-engine piston engine airliner. E.g., 4 engines each 28 cylinders means 224 spark plugs to fowl up. Given a typical plug MTBF of around 1000 - 2000 hours that means an engine miss-firing and a fire risk every few flights. The USAF had the same problem, driving them to jets. Changing all plugs after every flight was acceptable in wartime, but not in peace time. Also, jets are smoother and quieter. Aircraft are noisy things, but if you have never flown on a large multiengine piston engine aircraft, you don't know what noise is.

When Tex got called into Bill Allen's office on a Monday morning, he knew he was to go head to head with his big boss that particular moment. The chance he took to barrel roll that airplane left Bill Allen furious at first. It was not that he was going to be fired, but it did create a stir to begin with. After he was told what he thought he was doing, Tex simply answered back, "I was selling airplanes", and then Bill's response was, "You know that and we know that, but just don't do it anymore" was just a little something that Tex Johnston had up his sleeve, and to keep selling airplanes to customers. He was one of the best pilots around and he did take some hell from Bill Allen. The menuver was concidered to be the "highlight" for the Boeing company in a positive way. Believe it or not.

@@TLSFC5050 wrong. The Comet 1 already had swept wings since the prototype in 1949. Engine maintenance was easily solved with many doors-access despite the four engines were buried within wings. Not a single claim or blame by a single technician has been recorded about difficulties on doing this job. Podded-engines were "invented" to calm down many passengers about not being too close to an engine in case of fire (reminescence of propellers era). During the tank-test done for the investigation of Comet's early crashes by sir Arnold Hall, on strong suggestion by Sir Geoffrey De Havilland, were invited Boeing and McDonnell representatives to visit the site, the tank-test and to share then how pressurised airframes would have been done from there onwards: increasing the tick of the skin and spacing less internal structure. Without those crashes and that test, B or McD would have encountered the same fate. Because prior to those crashes that was the way aviation industry as a whole was designing pressurized planes.

The swept, flexible wings and under wing engine pods came from Boeing's experience with the B-47. It is definitely NOT from the B-29 derived KC-97, which had neither swept wings nor engine pods. Over 1000 were delivered (1010) not 110.

That's technically an aileron roll. A barrel roll is different.

Remember The unmodified early NATO airframes (E3 and KC135 etc.etc.) of the 707 are only now being retired ! The modified airframes (CFM and modern cockpits) have still decades to go and will even be further updated! They expect that a "707" airframe will reach its centenial birthday in 2057!

Tex was a genius aviator. He maintained 1 g of force on the plane in each position during the barrel rolls. Would almost feel the same as flying straight on the inside.
