The Avro Canada C102 was historic as it was only the second jet airliner produced in the world. It flew thirteen days after the De Havilland Comet jet airliner. It had originally been conceived as a twin turboprop airliner but was changed to jets when the designer went to England and was shown the new Rolls Royce Jet engines. The C102 was then developed for four jet engines mounted in two pods near the wing root. It flew well and had better performance than the De Havilland Comet in many respects. It had many orders for the purchase of the plane but these were subsequently cancelled and the only complete aircraft was maintained and flown for several years before it was broken up. Only the nose and cockpit remain of the aircraft.
