'Arrogance diminishes wisdom'
Scares the shit out of the passengers...sometimes I crash and kill every one on board...I don't care...screw 'em, they didn't like me any way.
The more you research 'who invented X', the more gradual & multi-party the invention becomes (most of the time).
E.g. computer. Does Babbage's mechanical computer count? Zuse's Z3? Harvard Mk 1? Eniac? Machester baby? Each had new features making it more like a 'modern' computer. So which one was THE invention?
Also, is describing it enough, or do you have to build it?
Both aircraft you quote were British! I did look them up - did you?
The Meteor was the first British jet fighter, & flew in 1941. (Heinkel He 178 flew in 1939)
(Wikipedia)
The Comet was the first commercial jet airliner, designed & built after WWII. First flew in 1949. (Wikipedia)
